Greater Cleveland Digital Equity Fund
The County has partnered with The Cleveland Foundation, The George Gund Foundation and T-Mobile to create the Greater Cleveland Digital Equity Fund, which will be used to address the digital divide throughout Greater Cleveland. More than 1 in 5 households in the county have no internet access, with more than half of Cleveland households that make less than $20,000 completely disconnected from the digital world. Local organizations PCs for People and RET3 will provide up to 10,000 computers and/or ongoing support to students in public schools and partner charter schools in Greater Cleveland–but this project is just the beginning of ongoing efforts to decrease the digital divide.
