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.

Projects should aim to help the following groups:
- Low-income households
- Aging populations
- Incarcerated individuals
- Veterans

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