[Tech-l] broadband support for low-income families

[Thor Sage]

Good morning,
I wanted to let you all know about the below opportunities with Spectrum.  The first is a program for reduced residential broadband costs for low-income families in your community.  The second is a grant opportunity for tax exempt organizations providing certain types of programming or training to underserved populations.  The grant window opened on the 29th and will close August 23rd.
Thanks
Thor
