Did You Know...? 'Each state or territory will receive a specific amount of money to implement their digital equity plans. While you’ll be preparing for two very different processes for each type of grant, there are some common things you can do now to prepare for both of them' What locals should do to prep for the Digital Equity Act Capacity and Competitive grant programs? In 2021, the federal government made the biggest ever investment in digital equity with $2.75 billion in the Digital Equity Act. Later this year, two grant programs will open up: folks will apply directly to their State or territory for the Capacity Grant program for $1.44 billion, and the Competitive Grant where folks will apply directly to NTIA for $1.25 billion. You can find a video presentation, full remarks, and a slidedeck with great information here: https://lnkd.in/g3tyDq5V https://lnkd.in/gn43g59e #DigitalEquityMatter
