Grant Overview
Building Digital Infrastructure for Equitable Access
This initiative is aimed at developing the technological infrastructure necessary for ensuring equitable internet access in underserved neighborhoods. It focuses on understanding the gaps in current service provision and implementing data systems to track usage and access patterns. Unlike broader socio-economic development grants, this program is focused specifically on systemic technology-oriented solutions, excluding unrelated infrastructure support or service delivery initiatives.
The emphasis of this funding is on creating frameworks that empower communities to advocate for affordable internet services. For example, a community organization may use its funding to establish a baseline understanding of local internet usage patterns, which can then inform advocacy efforts aimed at local policymakers. The initiative encourages the formation of coalitions that can drive policy changes to address inequities in internet access.
Organizations should apply for this funding if they are strategically positioned to build and advocate for technological infrastructure within their communities. Those that focus on service delivery without an emphasis on systematic community organization and advocacy may find that this funding is misaligned with their goals.
Applicants must demonstrate a thorough understanding of current access disparities and provide a detailed plan for leveraging data to mobilize community action. This includes outlining methods for tracking access and utilization, as well as potential mechanisms to engage community members in advocacy efforts, ensuring that their voices are heard in discussions about equitable access.
