The Technology Impact Indicators Project's goal is to develop a working definition of basic information technology literacy and a set of impact indicators to measure over the time the impact of information technology on the health and vitality of our city or region. The Technology Matching Fund was established to provide money to Seattle organizations and neighborhood groups for a broad array of citizen-driven technology literacy and access projects.
Funds are limited so it's a competitive program.
Applications are considered during specific funding cycles and the highest rated applications are awarded funds. This Access for All Project is part of the City's effort to ensure citizens technology literacy and access. The campaign will also disseminate some basic information on understanding the Internet and information technology and publicize available resources. Materials will be prepared in multiple languages. This Project is designed to ensure citizens have access to computers, the Internet and basic skills training within walking distance from home.
