Digital Equity Grants
Not everyone has the same level of access to reliable internet service, or the devices and skills needed for work, commerce, education, healthcare, transportation, and civic engagement.
In response to the urgent technology needs of nonprofits and the communities they serve, The Central Ohio Digital Equity Fund was established in July 2020. The Franklin County Digital Equity Coalition, a group of local partners and institutions, works on internet affordability, access to devices, and programs across the community that offer training and technical skill building for life and careers in the twenty-first century.
