RE: IEI Announces 2021 BAND-NC Broadband Grants

IEI Announces 2021 BAND-NC Broadband Grants

 

 

The Institute for Emerging Issues (IEI) announces a new round of funding from BAND-NC, a grant program designed to increase the number of people with internet in their homes, with the goal of making the state “first in digital inclusion.” 

 

The effort, in partnership with the Broadband Infrastructure Office at the NC Department of Information Technology, and with principal support from the John M. Belk Endowment, is addressing the digital divide across NC by providing $5,000 mini-grants to communities who want to implement digital inclusion plans, begin a digital inclusion planning process, or who are looking to meet immediate digital needs. 

 

Learn more about NC-Band and apply before Friday, April 30th

 

IEI and the Broadband Infrastructure Office will be hosting a BAND-NC informational webinar on Thursday, March 18 at 1:00 p.m. If you have questions about digital inclusion, BAND-NC and/or the application criteria, we encourage you to attend.
