Digital Inclusion Grant Strategies: Collaborative Partnerships

Federal investment in digital equity creates new opportunities for partnerships among diverse organizations working closely with individuals impacted by the digital divide. Although working across multiple external teams and organizations can be challenging–even under the unified goal of advancing digital equity–strong partnerships expand the reach of limited funds to more communities and allow for shared learning across multiple digital equity domains. Although there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach for making the most of upcoming federal grants, examining past experiences offer lessons in working with partners to advance digital equity. In this webinar, panelists will share learnings from past experiences navigating the federal grant processes and working with partners to maximize the impact of federal investment–this includes the selection of partners, strategies for collaboration to achieve goals, and assessing progress and impact.
