Compudopt’s mission goes beyond device donation to holistically address the digital divide, a barrier affecting 21% of American households that lack access to in-home computers (U.S. Census Bureau). The organization also helps households gain access to affordable internet connectivity and provides digital literacy education to empower individuals to thrive in today’s digital world.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Direct Travel as a valued partner in Compudopt’s mission to advance digital opportunity nationwide,” said Compudopt CEO Megan Steckly. “The first step in bridging the digital divide is device accessibility. With Direct Travel’s support, we can better fulfill this critical aspect of our mission, leading to lasting impact for hundreds of families.”
This partnership also reflects Direct Travel’s broader commitment to giving back. The company is dedicated to fostering meaningful connections through philanthropy and community engagement—supporting charitable giving, volunteering and partnerships that enrich the communities where we live, work and travel. With an ambitious goal of reaching 300,000 cumulative volunteer hours and incorporating philanthropic components into at least 80% of major client events, Direct Travel continues to pursue opportunities that create lasting positive change. The collaboration with Compudopt is a powerful step toward realizing that vision.
In addition to its social impact, the program helps Direct Travel streamline its device lifecycle management while ensuring data security through Compudopt’s traceable, industry-compliant sanitization protocols. The initiative launched with a pilot donation and is expected to scale in the coming weeks, reinforcing Direct Travel’s broader commitment to sustainability, innovation and community impact.
