The second round of BAND-NC funding to extend digital inclusion grants to North Carolina communities are available. The application deadline was April 30, 2021.

These $5,000 mini-grants were available to fund local digital inclusion projects to meet unmet community needs. This includes access to the Internet, a device that meets their needs, and the know-how to use it.

Some North Carolina counties have received the BAND-NC funding. Check this website to see the status in your county. You can apply for funding or work with those who have already received the BAND-NC funding.

Please contact Kenny Sherin if you have questions about this opportunity. Visit the Broadband Resources page for information and ways to take action on broadband issues.
