October 8, 2021

The nonprofit organization The Greenlining Institute has announced grants for 10 grassroots organizations in Oakland, Calif., that are working on digital equity projects and initiatives.

The grants are being made through a program called The Town Link, which is a partnership between Greenlining and the city. The overarching goals of the initiative are to increase Internet adoption among residents while also bolstering digital literacy for members of communities that have traditionally lacked Internet access.
