Spectrum supports nonprofits that use connectivity to enhance the lives of community members through skills training and access to technology. Working together to advance digital inclusion and empower the future, we award Spectrum Digital Education grants in local communities across our 41-state service area.
Spectrum Digital Education has supported St. Louis Arc with multiple grants since 2017. The nonprofit helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities use innovative technology and has used grant funding to establish a tech room and purchase specialized adaptive equipment.
A world of new opportunity has been opened for seniors taking digital literacy classes at the Senior Citizens Association of Florence County, a nonprofit organization supported by Spectrum Digital Education. New computer skills have enabled remote access to telehealth services, instant connections with family and friends, and even an extensive genealogy history lesson.
Spectrum Digital Education recently awarded Austin, Texas-based Latinitas a $30,000 grant which the nonprofit will use to provide technology training to Spanish-speaking parents through its “Padres Digitales” program.
A recent grant enabled the Boys & Girls Club of Elizabethton/Carter County to purchase new computer lab equipment to serve as a remote learning hub for students in the community.
Spectrum is working to ensure that our neighbors have access to broadband internet and the educational resources needed to use it effectively in their daily lives. Research shows that not all Americans use broadband internet at home, including seniors, people with disabilities, and those with ethnically diverse backgrounds. A fundamental part of this initiative is our Spectrum Digital Education Grants. Click the button below to learn more about the grant program and how to apply.
Spectrum has committed $1 million to Spectrum Digital Education in 2025, raising its total investment in the program to more than $11 million since 2017. The program distributes grants to nonprofits that create opportunities for community members by expanding access to digital tools, skills training and resources.
