Washington State University Center to Bridge the Digital Divide Seeks Grant Proposals for Community Technology Programs

Washington State University Extension outlined details Wednesday of a $350,000 grant program and invited grant proposals for community technology projects at the statewide community technology meeting hosted by the Communities Connect Network.

“This is the only dedicated technology grant program in the state right now,” said Matthew Mitchell, of Extension’s Center to Bridge the Digital Divide http://cbdd.wsu.edu/ , who discussed details of the program.

Extension is administering a grant and capacity building programs which are part of the Community Technology Opportunity Program (CTOP) authorized this past March by the Washington State Legislature. CTOP was created to support and advance community technology programs that provide digital inclusion activities for Washington’s under-served and low-income residents.
