July 12, 2024

We're so thankful to announce we're one of the 63 recipients of the NCDIT's Digital Champion grants this year! HTI was awarded $600,000 to help bridge the digital divide in our communities. This is a huge milestone for us, and we're so excited to continue working toward bridging the digital divide alongside these other great organizations!

The Digital Champion grant program awarded more than $30 million to community service, nonprofit, higher education and regional organizations to expand digital equity to North Carolinians. All projects must develop or expand digital equity programming and address at least one of the following elements of digital inclusion: affordability of reliable high-speed internet; provision of internet-enabled devices (computer, laptops, etc.) that meet users' needs; access to digital literacy and skills training; quality technical support; or applications and online content designed to increase accessibility and inclusivity.
