Groups providing high-speed internet, low-cost computers to bridge Cleveland's 'Digital Divide'

The Cleveland Foundation just announced $488,000 in grants that encourage digital inclusion — a multi-faceted initiative to get everyone connected, “until we get to a point that the internet access is treated more like a utility, no different than electricity. Until it’s in every home,” said Leon Wilson, chief of digital innovation at the Cleveland Foundation. The first part of the initiative is a partnership with the Cleveland Public Library and Cuyahoga County Library systems.
