By extending affordable reliable high-speed internet to every American not only where they work and learn but also where they live leaders can implement bold strategies that drive technology-based economic development and expand prosperity for all. This approach is called Digital Advancement a new mindset that believes when people are connected our shared possibilities are limitless. In 2021 CTF pursued policy related activities to promote Digital Advancement including: 1 Salon Discussions with National League of Cities NLC: CTF and NLC convened a series of virtual salons and one-on-one meetings with municipal leaders who are prioritizing digital equity in their cities-including mayors city council members and senior city staff. The discussions sought to capture the current environment for municipal leaders seeking to close the digital divide in their communities. As the federal government and states prepared for a once-in-a-generation investment in broadband infrastructure and digital equity CTF and NLC aimed to lift the voices of cities and promote local communities as active participants in the design of solutions for digital equity. 2 Philadelphia Household Internet Assessment: In early 2021 CTF joined forces with Wilco Electronic Systems broadband researcher Dr. John B. Horrigan and research firm SSRS to help the City of Philadelphia launch the 2021 Household Internet Assessment Survey a data collection designed to better understand the digital access needs of Philadelphia's residents since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Publicly available data from the 2019 American Community Survey was insufficient to accurately capture the current state of Philadelphia's digital access and a more direct approach to gather local data was required. The partners sought to gather fresh data and insights to help the City of Philadelphia benchmark efforts to address digital access and to inform its digital equity strategy. 3 Digital Advancement Municipal Index: In early 2021 CTF began a collaboration with prominent broadband researcher John B. Horrigan PhD. to develop the Digital Advancement Municipal Index a tool designed to illuminate and compare the interconnectedness between a city's overall prosperity and digital equity metrics. In summer 2021 CTF assembled a team with policy data science and data visualization experience to build an interactive prototype based on Dr. Horrigan's design and methodology. In fall 2021 the team began to iterate the prototype with input from external stakeholders including city officials universities and community development researchers. Feedback was used to develop a version 1.0 of the tool. The Municipal Index to be launched in spring 2022 will look comparatively at more than 300 cities in the United States across 16 different indicators in technology socioeconomic education and housing domains. Users will be able to filter by region population and year dating back to 2016. Users will also be able to drill down into a city's data and easily compare metrics with other cities. States and regions may also find the tool useful to identify areas in need of targeted investment and support to achieve greater progress. City leaders will be encouraged to submit new data or feedback. The goal of the index is to inform policy agendas and foster continued dialogue on how to achieve digital advancement especially in light of federal funding for broadband infrastructure and digital equity. 185797 0 0 Digital Integrators is a workforce model to be developed and piloted in select US cities. In 2021 CTF completed research and design of a pilot program to demonstrate the potential for innovative approaches to expand economic opportunity by connecting people to digital skills and employment. With the goal to select a small cohort of grantees across U.S. cities for the proposed pilot CTF began to identify and engage potential partners. In Fall 2021 CTF curated the first cohort of Digital Integrators Partners. Five community development organizations were invited to collaborate with CTF to develop proposals for innovative digital equity approaches to workforce development for launch in spring 2022. The inaugural 2022 Digital Integrators Pilot Program will demonstrate how community development organizations can continuously improve and modernize workforce development programs to address digital inequities particularly within housing and low-income communities communities of color and among intergenerational households. A cohort of five organizations will receive support from CTF for six months including a grant and other resources a facilitated peer exchange and participation in a qualitative assessment. CTF will produce a published report on lessons insights and opportunities for scale and innovation. 144533 0 0 In October 2021 CTF and Morgan Stanley announced the Sustainable Solutions Social Justice Innovation Awards SJIA a new award program dedicated to identifying systemic solutions that advance social and racial justice and achieve inclusive economic opportunity in the United States. In the first year five awardees will be selected and each will receive a $250,000 award to help develop and scale their solutions focused on social justice as an integral part of a sustainable future. In addition awardees will participate in a cohort experience facilitated by CTF. The customized program will be designed to promote collaboration build capacity and provide support to leaders focused on achieving transformative impact through the scale of systemic solutions. CTF launched the nomination process in Fall 2021 the culmination of several months of research and development including an environmental scan and stakeholder interviews to inform the design of the awards program. Invitations to submit an Expression of Interest were extended to nominees in late fall with the review and selection process to begin in early 2022. In Summer 2022 CTF will select and announce the winners. The Year 2 competition will be launched in Fall 2022 with winners to be announced in Spring 2023. 1059514 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 false 3 true false false false false false false false false X 0 0 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true true false DC X X Michael Staples 5712146223 25302 Diligence Ct Aldie VA 20105 Reynard Ramsey Executive Director 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Wendell Brown Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Alter Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marta Urquilla President 40.00 0.00 X 141000 52015 0 Michael Staples Treasurer Secretary 5.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Mueller-Soppart Program Director 40.00 0.00 X 66572 0 0 Grace Han Program Director 40.00 0.00 X 37604 0 0 245176 52015 0 1 false true false 0 0 0 0 0 4557800 0 4557800 0 2479 0 0 2479 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4560279 0 0 2479 X 267236 254734 12502 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17940 17051 889 0 22628 21569 1059 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 51600 51600 0 0 352 352 0 0 1665 0 1665 0 4373 0 4373 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9088 9088 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 792400 705120 87280 0 0 0 0 0 2120 0 2120 0 Registration Fees, State & Federal 5898 0 5898 0 Bank fees 737 0 737 0 1176037 1059514 116523 0 2285284 4669526 300000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1310823 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2585284 5980349 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 2585284 5980349 0 0 2585284 5980349 2585284 5980349 3384242 10823 0 0 0 0 X false false false X 0 0 150000 3000000 4557800 7707800 0 0 150000 3000000 4557800 7707800 7321589 386211 0 0 0 0 2479 2479 7710279 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X false false false false false false false false false Marta Urquilla President 141000 52015 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 141000 52015 0 0 CENTRI TECH LLC Rey Ramsey Director is the majority owner of CENTRI TECH LLC 792400 Provider of programmatic support and back office services false Part III, line 2 Sustainable Solutions Social Justice Innovation Awards Program and the Digital Integrators Programs were added during 2021.
