Digital Equity Foundation Act of 2023

The Digital Equity Foundation Act of 2023 would establish a nonprofit Foundation for Digital Equity to improve technology access and digital skills for underserved communities. The Foundation would work to promote broadband adoption, digital literacy, and digital inclusion by raising funds from private sources and collaborating with government agencies like the FCC and NTIA. It would develop programs targeting communities with low broadband adoption rates, convene stakeholders, and support initiatives addressing digital discrimination. The Foundation would be governed by a Board of Directors with specific representation requirements and would be required to submit annual reports to Congress on its activities and funding.
