Our Programs and Initiatives
Closing the digital divide in the heartland requires thinking outside of the box, building strategic partnerships and taking meaningful action.
Working with partners who share our vision, we work to accelerate progress in the heartland by strategically focusing our collective resources to support efforts to bridge gaps that prevent states and municipalities from realizing their goals of universal connectivity.
Closing the Affordability Gap
Helping Eligible Households Connect with Affordable Internet at Home
Cost remains the biggest barrier to getting connected. During the pandemic, economic hardship made internet access even more challenging for many families at a time when it was also more necessary than ever.
We launched a targeted paid media campaign and coordinated community effort to reach families in Arkansas, Illinois, Ohio and Tennessee that qualify for the FCC’s Emergency Broadband Benefit discount.
