POlicy highlight: Digital Equity for states
In 2023, all state governments undertook a new project — creating State Digital Equity Plans, thanks to the historic $2.75 billion in the Digital Equity Act. The NDIA team provided essential education and training, a toolkit incorporating years of experience from community digital inclusion programs, and deep support through the process.

Custom Workshops
NDIA went on the road, offering State Digital Equity Planning workshops around the country with support from Federal Reserve Banks.
"The State Digital Equity Plan Workshop provided me the background, resources, and guidance to get started with our comprehensive state digital equity plan. NDIA created a friendly environment that encouraged collaboration along with guides that I continue to use today. NDIA's leadership
has been invaluable."

Policy Awareness & Advocacy
As ACP funds started dwindling, NDIA gave affiliates ongoing policy updates and information on how best to advocate for renewing ACP funding.
NDIA refreshed content on its Free & Low-Cost Internet Plans webpage and maintains current information through regular reviews and checks. In FY23, this page had over 10,000 views.
Peer & Expert Support
The NDIA team offered thousands of people support in working with ACP. We hosted monthly working groups on outreach, provided free support for digital navigators, and offered virtual and in-person spaces for peer support.
