The Hive KC Digital Drive Fund is designed to support local projects and organizations that promote youth learning through digital technology. It is made possible through a partnership between KC Digital Drive and the Hive Learning Network in Kansas City.

The fund was created to support local projects that may not receive grants from larger projects such as the Gigabit Community Fund, which was created by the Mozilla Foundation and US Ignite.

The first recipient of Hive KC Digital Drive funding is Tech sHeroes. An initiative of KC Women in Technology, Tech sHeroes encourages 7th and 8th grade girls to seek out careers in technology, learn to code and take on tech-related projects to benefit their school and community. Google Fiber has generously granted the first $5,000 in seed funding for the project.
