Description:

The hardest part of sustainability for digital inclusion work in most communities continues to be the cost of basic digital literacy training. In this roundtable we'll share our most promising strategies to address this problem through innovative partnerships and collaborations.

We'll be trying to frame the conversation with these initial questions:

A) When approaching funders to support digital literacy programs, what are their interests and concerns, or what information do they want to know from our organizations?

B) What have been the barriers to forming partnerships - with local governments or other interested parties or partners?

C)  How successful have we been at building collaborations to target specific populations?
