State Digital Equity Planning Grant

Overview

The State Digital Equity Planning Grant Program supports the creation of community-centric solutions. It provides resources to community organizations to help scale digital literacy programs. These programs give people the skills they need to effectively use the Internet. We're looking for projects that promote meaningful adoption and use of high-speed Internet service. Projects should aim to help the following groups:

Low-income households
Aging populations
Incarcerated individuals
Veterans
People with disabilities
People with language barriers
Racial and ethnic minorities
Rural inhabitants

Projects will be used to share best practices and show successful models of state-community partnerships.
