About the NCOA and AT&T Funding Opportunity to Support Digital Literacy Senior centers and local community-based organizations serving older adults are trusted, and effective in reaching older adults. As part of our shared vision to improve the lives of older adults, NCOA is partnering with up to 50 senior centers and local organizations to expand access to technology training in communities with limited resources.
NCOA provides the tools, training, and resources organizations need to confidently support older adults in building practical online skills—like using email, browsing the internet, and staying safe online. Older adults participate in short, focused online courses on the topics they need most, learning at their own pace in group workshops or one-on-one sessions, guided by trained leaders in a familiar and welcoming setting.
Key highlights of the collaboration with AT&T to help older adults use the internet safely and confidently: Each participating senior center and community-based organization will receive training, materials, and curriculum to provide in-person workshops and one-to-one support to improve digital literacy.
Participating organizations received one of three tiers of funding, each tied to a specific impact goal based on the number of older adult participants they plan to engage in digital literacy programming. Organizations selected the tier that best matches their capacity and community reach. Funding amounts range from $4,500 to $9,000 Senior centers and community-based organizations in all states were eligible to apply.
