Hosted by KC Digital Drive
The Kansas City Coalition for Digital Inclusion (KCCDI) is an open, collaborative group of organizations who foster digital equity and access to technology for Kansas City metro communities. KCCDI meets bi-monthly on the first and third Friday of every month to hear about the work of local digital inclusion practitioners, and share information about upcoming opportunities in the digital inclusion space.
FEATURED CONTENT
Nonprofits often struggle to fund enough staff positions to keep up with their workload. A variety of programs exist to help them meet the needs of the community, but they often aren’t aware of them. Learn about these capacity-building resources and hear from organizations that have benefitted from them to help close the digital divide in the KC region.
