Broadband availability and skills are fundamental to development and innovation. • The Recovery Act created a one-time broadband grant program that
invested $4+ billion in four portfolios: – Comprehensive Community Infrastructure ($3+ billion) – Public Computing Centers ($200 million) – Sustainable Broadband Adoption ($250 million) – State Broadband Initiative and the National Broadband Map ($350 million)
• 290 Grants in 50 States, DC, and 5 Territories
What we learned.
• Jobs, education, health care, and economic development • Hugs, handshakes, and high-fives
Hugs, handshakes, and high
Community foundations are uniquely equipped to support digital inclusion. Why? • Trusted local partners are key to success. There is no substitute for working with
people who know the community, the landscape, and the history. • Digital inclusion is a multi-faceted problem. All stakeholders need to be involved,
and a bottom-up PLUS top-down approach is required, linking grass-roots commitment with expert technical assistance.
• Digital opportunity programs must be convenient, accessible, and affordable. Combining resources across sectors can lower the cost of creating broadband adoption programs.
• Digital exclusion adds another barrier to overburdened lives. Ultimately, digital exclusion creates a negative impact on educational achievement, health status, civic participation, and economic development.

We were kickstarted by BTOP
November 20, 2014 21
Two projects
We administered two grants received by the City of Chicago from the U.S. Department of Commerce – National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) for Sustainable Broadband Adoption and the support of Public Computer Centers November 20, 2014 22
@danxoneil @smartchicago
Public Computer Centers • $8,974,283 • Building new computer centers,
including Smart Health Centers • Adding capacity at others • Creating a community of shared
learning through Connect Chicago • We learned that there were tons of
places of learning but none of them were connected to each other
November 20, 2014 23
@danxoneil @smartchicago
Sustainable Broadband Adoption • $7,074,369 • Run by LISC Chicago • Working to increase digital access
and use by families, businesses and other institutions in five moderate- and low-income Chicago neighborhoods
• Building a culture of digital excellence that supports neighborhood goals—from education to economic development, from safety to youth programs

November 20, 2014 25
But what do we do now?
• Keep working!
• None of the assets disappear • There are budgets embedded
in all of the institutions • People value technology, so
our work has value • Meetups, building community
and awareness November 20, 2014 26

Kansas City Digital Inclusion Fund
Working to close the Digital Divide
The challenge: Recent data shows that 25% of Kansas Citians
don’t have broadband access at home, and 17% don’t use the
internet at all. When asked why they aren’t online, non-users cite
two main reasons: lack of relevance and lack of access.
The opportunity: The Digital Inclusion Fund will support local
projects that provide computer access; make it easy to get
online; help make the internet relevant, exciting, and beneficial
for new users; and increase people’s digital skills.
Kansas City Digital Inclusion Fund
Focus Areas
• People who are interested in learning how to get online and
need help.
• People who lack a computer or perceive high costs to internet
access.
• Areas with high unemployment, with emphasis on internet-
related career skills and job hunting techniques.
• Senior citizens who do not use the internet, with emphasis on
access to health information.
• School children in homes without internet access.
Kansas City Digital Inclusion Fund
Eligibility Requirements
• Be a 501(c)(3) public charity performing work within the five
county metropolitan area.
• Agree to participate in external evaluation to measure the
impact of the project.
• Agree to provide a mid-year and year-end report.
Kansas City Digital Inclusion Fund
2013 Grantees
• Connecting for Good – Digital Inclusion Support Program,
$40,000.
• Kansas City Public Library District – Mobile Digital media Lab for
Youth, $98,400.
• Trinity Community Church – Digital Access for KCK, $60,500.
• Hispanic Economic Development Council – Digital Life Skills

But we’re not the “Broadband Foundation”…
The critical role of philanthropy in increasing Internet access and use
Bernadine Joselyn Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers

Blandin Foundation
Vibrant. Rural. Community.
Blandin Foundation • Grants • Community leadership
training • Convening and public policy
Why a focus on broadband access and use?
“As the Internet becomes a gateway to democratic participation, economic opportunity, and human expression,
it is critical to the future of our country — and our philanthropic missions —
to ensure that everyone has high-speed access to an open Internet.”
~ Luis Ubiñas, Ford Foundation
“Gaining access to the Internet is fast becoming a prerequisite for participating in civic and economic life.”
~ Jamahal King
Boosting broadband use is the right thing to do.
It’s also the smart thing to do.
Broadband Helps Household Pocketbooks
The Internet Innovation Alliance reports that households with broadband save $8,674 annually simply by moving interactions
online. http://www.internetinnovation.org/library/special-reports/access-to-broadband-internet-top-ten-areas-of-saving/
Broadband Creates Jobs and Profits
23.4% of all new jobs created in the
economies are directly attributable to broadband
Businesses that increased their utilization of broadband by 10% realize a 24% gain in revenue and a 7% reduction in costs.*
*Strategic Network Group research report
Broadband Grows Economies
Connect Minnesota research (2013) shows that a 1% increase in broadband adoption could grow Minnesota’s economy by $517
million.
We drank the KoolAid….
We came to understand:
1. Broadband access is fundamental to everything we care about as a
foundation…..
2. While economic growth, community
connectedness, quality of life improvements all follow
telecommunications investment, investment in infrastructure is not enough.
3. Community focus on broadband use is needed to deliver on the full promise of digital literacy and global connectivity.
If not us, who?
“Somebody has to do something, and it’s just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us.”
~ Jerry Garcia
If not us, who?
“Somebody has to do something, and it’s just
Foundations are uniquely positioned to:
Convene people to address challenges and opportunities
Ensure diverse perspectives are represented – “don’t do it to us without us”
Frame issues in ways that motivate people to effective action
Bring promising practices to bear Invest in good ideas
We invested our own grant dollars …. and on behalf of the communities we serve… we applied for and were awarded a $4.8 million federal grant through NTIA’s Broadband Technology Opportunities Program of the ARRA. $1.5 million in partner match $6.4 million total project
MIRC’s goal:
Foster a “culture of use” across rural MN.
A “whole community” approach
Communities: Convened diverse leadership teams Established baselines of use Set goals Selected and funded projects that met goals Measured progress Shared their stories Celebrated success!
In addition…. ….nearly 100 community-designed and administered projects were funded
Outputs
Outcomes
So what?
“Communities felt rejuvenated because there
were so many people rallying to get these projects done for
their school, community or organization.”
–Jacki Anderson, Upper
Minnesota Valley RDC
~ Nancy Hoffman, Benton County Economic Development Director
“Our elected officials now see the importance of broadband
for economic development and community vitality.”
“These technology classes have encouraged our Hispanic and Somali
immigrants to interact, really for the first time.”
–Fatima Said, Project FINE, Winona
“This effort has helped us develop wonderful community
connections. We have reached out to our whole
community.”
–Keri Bergeson, Principal, Dawson/ Boyd High School
Top 5 Lessons Learned
5. Peers make great teachers. 4. Engage tomorrow’s leaders today. 3. Broadband is not an end in itself. 2. Have patience.
1. It all comes down to community leadership.
