* This page, Healey-Driscoll Administration Awards$4 Million in Grants to Municipalities for IT Projects, is offered by * Executive Office of Technology Services and Security * Executive Office of Technology Services and Security ### Stephanie Knapp, Deputy Chief of External Affairs Boston — The Healey-Driscoll administration announced $4 million in grants to support 67 Massachusetts cities and towns through the Community Compact annual grant program.
For the first time in the program’s history, Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) funding prioritizes accessibility projects, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II Digital Accessibility Rule. This rule mandates that state and local governments make their websites, mobile apps and other digital content accessible to people with disabilities.
Awarded projects will also enhance cybersecurity and implement new digital tools that make municipal operations more efficient. The full list of FY26 recipients can be found at this link. “Every Massachusetts resident should have access to effective government services that make their lives easier,” said **Governor Maura Healey**.
“We prioritized accessibility improvements with this year’s IT grant awards to make sure that our cities and towns can provide everyone in their communities with the important information they need. ” “We are proud to have a strong partnership with Massachusetts cities and towns, and a shared commitment to government that works for everyone in the state,” said **Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll**.
“These grants will support our municipal colleagues in modernizing their digital practices, keeping records safe and secure, and making website content more useable for residents. ” Since Fiscal Year 2016 (FY16), the IT Grant Program has provided 602 grants to support 315 municipalities/school district projects totaling $38. 1 million in funding.
The program drives innovation and transformation at the local level by funding one-time capital needs such as technology infrastructure or software. Eligible costs include incidental or one-time expenses related to capital planning, design, installation, implementation, and initial training.
Attleboro, Barnstable, Canton, Foxborough, Revere, Shelburne, Sudbury, Westfield, and Worcester are among the municipalities receiving FY26 funds to support making digital content more accessible. “These grants are strategic investments in the digital infrastructure that Massachusetts cities and towns need to effectively serve residents,” said **Administration and Finance Secretary Matthew J. Gorzkowicz**.
“By investing in IT projects, particularly those that increase accessibility, we are making local governments across the state more effective and more responsive to communities’ needs. Congratulations to the award winners and I look forward to seeing these projects completed.
” “Our municipal partners across Massachusetts are working every day to deliver high-quality services and information to our residents,” said **Technology Services and Security Secretary Jason Snyder**. “These grants allow cities and towns to modernize their websites, strengthen cybersecurity, and streamline operations.
By prioritizing accessibility this year, we’re helping municipalities build digital platforms that better serve all residents while improving efficiency and protecting critical local systems. ” The IT Grant is one of two grants (along with Municipal Fiber) that the Healey-Driscoll administration is offering through the Community Compact program in Fiscal Year 2026 to support communities across Massachusetts.

The OpenAI Foundation is putting $100 million behind Breakthroughs to Follow-Through, a Common Health Coalition initiative aiming to at least double hepatitis C cure rates in eight states and localities within two years. Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana and Massachusetts go first, money flows to local collaboratives and nonprofits, and the grants are deliberately not tied to any one AI vendor. Here is what makes an organization fundable under it.

Read articleCummings Foundation grew its annual local program from $30 million to $35 million for 2026 awards, but the dollar increase is the smaller story. Nearly every grant now flows as unrestricted general operating support — the funding nonprofits ask for most and receive least. For eligible Massachusetts organizations, the 2027 cycle opens July 15 with a September 16 letter-of-inquiry deadline. Here is who qualifies, why the shift to operating support changes the calculus, and how a small nonprofit should approach a program that hands out 150 grants a year, most of them chosen by community volunteers.
