Evaluating the Digital Integrators Pilot Program
Project summary
In April 2022, Centri Tech Foundation (CTF) launched the Digital Integrators Pilot Program to foster community-led innovations in digital equity. The foundation awarded $195,000 to community development organizations working in five U.S. cities to connect digital skills to equitable economic development. The aim was to highlight community based approaches for digital advancement that could inform local digital equity planning efforts.
The program was evaluated in partnership with Dr. Colin Rhinesmith, Director of the Digital Equity Research Center. Through interviews with directors and staff members of the organizations and observations of grantee cohort meetings, Rhinesmith identified three essential success factors and lessons learned. These are presented together as a Community Development Framework for Digital Advancement.
This project was funded by the Centri Tech Foundation.
