Digital Inclusion Program Support

Digital Inclusion Coalitions are a collective of organizations shaped by the community to advocate for digital equity and foster the growth of the community’s digital inclusion ecosystem, through a formalized structure that publicly functions to facilitate the collaboration and coordination between community organizations that aim to support digital inclusion services. Coalitions are a valuable and fast-growing component of Tribal, local, regional, and state digital inclusion ecosystems.

NDIA’s annual recognition award, highlighting excellence in digital inclusion programming! Digital Inclusion Trailblazers are municipal, county, or regional governments that are paving the way and providing excellent models for digitally inclusive communities. They are intentional. They are invested. They are committed to advancing digital equity. The Trailblazers recognition isn’t just an award — it’s also a collection of valuable resources. Trailblazers serve as models, demonstrating how local governments can support their own digital inclusion ecosystems.

Seven Star Communities is a newer program that highlights Native entities for their excellence in providing sustainable solutions to support their digital inclusion ecosystems and provides an opportunity for Tribal entities to learn from each other. The entities selected as Seven Star Communities serve as models of excellence for sustainable connectivity solutions that address the educational, health, economic, cultural, and social needs of their Tribal community.
