Serving Older Adults Will Use the Funds to Provide Digital Literacy Instruction Throughout Milwaukee Community
MILWAUKEE, Wis. – June 25, 2025 – Spectrum today announced Serving Older Adults has received a $20,000 Spectrum Digital Education grant for its Tech Connect program. In total, Spectrum is awarding $1.1 million to 55 nonprofit organizations that work to expand access to digital tools, skills training and resources in the communities Spectrum serves. Since launching in 2017, Spectrum Digital Education has committed more than $11 million to support 204 community-based nonprofits across Spectrum’s 41-state service area.
Serving Older Adults helps older adults in Milwaukee maintain optimal health and independence for as long as possible. Its goal is for adults to spend more years supporting their needs socially, financially and physically while adding value to their families and communities. The Tech Connect program offers one-time lectures and workshops as well as five- or 10-week courses that provide hands-on learning with skilled instructors.
Spectrum Digital Education partners with nonprofits that share a commitment to using technology as a tool for opportunity, whether to pursue education, find employment, access healthcare or stay connected to news and information, and to their friends and family. The nonprofits selected to receive a 2025 grant support a wide range of community members, from seniors and veterans to students and jobseekers, with programs covering one-on-one technology coaching, AI skills courses and certificates, and community tech hubs that make digital tools more accessible.
“Technology is a powerful equalizer, but only if people have access to a computer and then know how to use it,” said Rahman Khan, Group Vice President of Community Impact. “Through Spectrum Digital Education, we’re helping our nonprofit partners turn connectivity into real opportunities for their communities, from education and employment to everyday connection and independence.”
Now in its eighth year, Spectrum Digital Education continues to support initiatives that make a tangible impact in communities. Since launching, Spectrum Digital Education has awarded 383 grants, helping to distribute nearly 20,000 laptops and sponsor more than 45,000 digital education classes, benefiting nearly 188,000 community members nationwide.
