One Economy Corporation is a Washington, D.C. based nonprofit founded in 2000. The corporation connects low-income people with technology. The corporation focuses on bringing broadband access into low-income homes, providing technological training for low-income individuals, and creating localized websites that connect these people to socio-economically pertinent information and services, these ranging from homework help to tax-filing tips to career building applications.

Internationally the Beehive is available for Istanbul, Durban, and Amman. Localization is used to target specific community needs.
