Digital Equity Challenge

The UMass Lowell Innovation Hub Haverhill has partnered with Essex County Community Foundation to present the Digital Equity Challenge. This is a pitch contest style event where we are seeking ideas and projects that address digital equity.

Do you have a program, project, service, or any idea that increases digital capacity for any community in Essex County or the county at large?

Apply now to our Challenge! Top applicants will be invited to Pitch live before Judges and win a share of $10,000 in cash prizes and other support, including a pipeline with ECCF for further grant funding. We welcome a wide range of ideas and programs — perhaps launch a new software class at the BGC, or teach seniors how to access online health resources, or a new app that makes it easy to residents to access city services. A collaborative partnership with another organization?
