Cities Eligible for Grants to Upgrade Technology; Learn More with June 8 Webinar
Jun 2, 2016
As a result of a computer industry lawsuit settled by the California Attorney General, about $2.27 million in one-time funds will be awarded to both public and nonprofit agencies, with grants ranging from around $30,000 to $86,000, and one to two years in duration. The grant process will be administered by Harry M. Snyder, consumer attorney, Cy Pres Funds, with final grant approvals by the California Department of Justice.
Projects that increase access to computer or visual technology will be considered. Examples include funding to train displaced or unemployed workers in new tech occupations; new software, technology or hi-tech equipment for local water, sewage treatment, or mosquito abatement district improved services; or funding for computer or visual technology services that will improve tech access, skills and knowledge for California populations.
