Technology barriers hinder financial independence and quality of life for low-income individuals, people of color, adults with disabilities, and other frontline communities. Suma’s community-driven tech solution removes these barriers, making essential goods and services more affordable.
“Suma” means “sum, total, addition, or combination” in Spanish. The suma app aggregates opportunities for frontline communities to access discounts and subsidies, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts.
We envision an inclusive technology landscape for frontline communities that are often exploited or overlooked by the tech sector.
Experience the power of the suma app in stretching your budget and saving you money on essential expenses such as food, transportation and utilities.
As a vendor, affordable housing provider, or frontline partner, the suma platform enables you to strengthen community connections, reach new customers and meet vital community needs.

We develop and share tailored curricula to build digital capacity with frontline communities.
Collaborating with partners and governments, we advocate for digital policies that involve community members and bridge the digital divide.
