Dresden Digital Equity was founded in 2024 by a group of community members who recognized a need for more internet connectivity support services in the area. Since our organization's startup, we have worked diligently to support the Town's pursuit of an infrastructure grant to expand internet access to 42% of the town that is unserved and another 40% that are underserved.
We are in the process of building a range of programs to support individuals and families in our community, including digital navigators to aid residents with how-to training & other workshops.
Our programs will also include low-cost device are designed to meet the unique needs of each person we serve.
At Dresden Digital Equity, we are proud of the impact we have made in the lives of those we serve. We are helping the Town and its residents overcome challenges and achieve their goals, and we are committed to continuing this important work.
We believe in the power of community. Our mission is to empower and support individuals, families, and organizations in building stronger and more connected communities. Join us today and let's make a difference together!

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), previously known as the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB), is a program from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that provided people in need with monthly subsidies & device discounts to help them get online & stay connected to the internet. The ACP expired in May 2024.
We offer procurement, setup, and device management workshops to help our residents develop the skills and gain the tools needed to use the Internet safely and efficiently. Join us for our upcoming workshops!
