Important Survey on Digital Accessibility – Your Participation is Needed
The Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI) is collecting input on individuals' experiences with internet service. This anonymous survey, which should be completed by one person per household, will help identify barriers to internet access, affordability, and adoption. Your responses will play a vital role in helping to close the digital divide.
Your feedback is essential, especially if you are a Lawrence resident, as it will directly impact the effectiveness of these efforts in our community.

Candid’s Foundation Directory gives you access to the information you need to be smart and strategic with your funding requests. The tools available on the Foundation Directory allow you to tap funding opportunities beyond open Requests for Proposals (RFPS) that make up less than 1% of total foundation funding.
