2025 New Partners and Programs
2025 (and 2024) were challenging years to operate a nonprofit dedicated to serving all people as we saw DIGITAL EQUITY funding cancelled by the US Government. We did take some time on 7-10-25 to celebrate 25 years of service since our 2001 launch. Many thanks to Sarah Radcliffe and Katie Hores who led our team in a big anniversary celebration at W&J College in Washington PA.
The Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority, working with the Capital Projects Fund, is participating in a $20 million federal funding effort to procure laptops and distribute them through the Digital Connectivity Technology Program for public-facing institutions such as libraries, community schools, municipalities, workforce training organizations, not-for-profit organizations, and other community anchor institutions. Computer Reach was chosen as a grant awardee.
