The State of Hawaiʻi’s Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) will receive a federal grant of $740,000 to conduct outreach for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which will be administered by the Hawai‘i Broadband and Digital Equity Office (HBDEO).

The ACP provides eligible households up to $30/month (or up to $75/month for households on Hawaiian Home Lands) off internet bills, as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 off a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet.

 The federal award follows the announcement from the Biden-Harris Administration that Civic Nation and the U.S. Department of Education have launched Online For All, a digital equity campaign working to close the digital divide.

The National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) defines digital equity as the condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed to fully participate in our society, democracy, and economy.

For more information on the Affordable Connectivity Program and to determine eligibility, visit broadband.hawaii.gov/acp or contact dbedt.internetforall@hawaii.gov.
