With digital equity, we all win.
National Digital Inclusion Alliance advances digital equity by connecting organizations, supporting community programming, and equipping policymakers to act.
In today’s digital age, access to the internet is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity. Yet, millions of individuals and families remain disconnected, facing barriers that hinder their ability to thrive in a technology-driven world. The National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) is at the forefront of the movement to bridge this digital divide, advocating for equity in access to technology, training, and resources.

Digital Navigators

Digital navigators are familiar with their community’s resources related to digital equity and address the complete digital inclusion process—home connectivity, access to and use of devices, and digital skills—by assisting community members with ongoing, individualized support. NDIA’s digital navigator model is a replicable framework for organizations currently providing or aspiring to provide digital inclusion services.
Honor Roll of Low-Cost Plans
Learn More
Everyone deserves affordable internet access. NDIA created the Honor Roll of Low-Cost Plans to connect communities with low-incomes to discount broadband plans offered by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). While offering more affordable choices is positive, varying factors can make it challenging to understand which plans meet their needs. We regularly update this page as information is made available.
