The Digital Equity Fund aims to bridge the digital divide in Baltimore City by supporting community-led digital inclusion plans. Established in April 2023, it funds initiatives to enhance digital literacy and provide necessary digital tools. The Fund, managed by the Office of Broadband and Digital Equity, opens Round 2 with a deadline of July 14, 2024. Grants will be awarded in three categories: Digital Literacy Education Training, Advanced Digital Education and IT Fundamentals Programming, and Digital Creatives and Virtual Makerspaces Programming. Each category focuses on specific skill areas and digital needs, from basic literacy to advanced IT certification and creative digital skills development. Eligible applicants are Baltimore-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that serve vulnerable groups such as older adults, minorities, non-English speakers, and others most impacted by the digital divide.
