David Jessup, Jr- Creating Funding Opportunities For Your NonProfit and the Impact of Digi-Bridge.

This week's guest is David Jessup Jr. David is the founder and chief executive officer of Digi-Bridge, a federally recognized Charlotte-based nonprofit working at the nexus of technology and education. The organization believes that the “digital divide”- a reality that affords only some students with the access needed in order to be successful in a global economy- is exacerbating the country’s educational achievement gap. Employing a three-pronged strategy to eradicate this divide, David oversees advocacy activities, consultancy efforts and educational course offerings carried out by Digi-Bridge. On this episode, David talks to us about the impact of Digi-Bridge and generating revenue as a nonprofit organization. You can learn more about Digi-Bridge at www.digi-bridge.org ; on IG at @digibridgeus ; on FB https://www.facebook.com/digibridgeUS/ and on Twitter https://twitter.com/DigiBridgeUS
