Calling all non-profits and community groups seeking funding for digital equity projects!

The City of Seattle's annual digital equity grant application process opens next Wednesday, October 16, 2024, and will accept applications from non-profits that aim to close the digital divide and increase digital literacy in our community!

The 2025 Technology Matching Fund (TMF) will provide funds of up to $45,000 to qualifying non-profit organizations and community groups in Seattle for digital equity projects. A total of $455,000 has been allocated to this fund. City dollars are matched by the community's contribution of volunteer labor, materials, professional services, or cash.

Projects should focus on increasing internet access and adoption by providing digital navigator services, digital literacy training to new technology users, devices and technical support to new technology users, or internet access to low-income residents.
