Spectrum will award $1 million in Spectrum Digital Education grants in 2026, bringing the program’s total investment to more than $12 million since 2017. Spectrum Digital Education partners with local nonprofits to help community members build their digital skills and access the tools and devices they need to succeed in their education, careers and everyday lives. Nonprofits can learn more and apply between February 2 and February 27.
Across Spectrum’s service area, Spectrum Digital Education supports nonprofits that help their community members – from seniors and veterans to students, working adults and families in need – access the digital education skills and tools they need to stay connected. Grants support initiatives like digital literacy programs, workforce readiness training, and efforts that provide donated or affordable laptops and other devices. Funding also helps power community tech spaces, like computer labs and learning hubs, where people can get hands-on support using online tools and services safely and effectively.
“Spectrum Digital Education is focused on removing real barriers by helping people build the digital skills required to apply for jobs, pursue education and manage essential online services,” said Rahman Khan, Group Vice President, Community Impact. “Through our nonprofit partnerships, we help turn connectivity into capability by creating pathways to opportunity and independence.”
