Digital Equity Program

Effective May 9, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce has ceased funding for the Digital Equity Capacity Program. As a result, the Arizona Commerce Authority will not be proceeding with the program at this time and is suspending the Digital Equity General Capacity Subgrant process.

The ACA and State Broadband Office remain committed to connecting all Arizona households and communities to high-speed internet through numerous expansion programs. These include the Arizona Broadband Development Grant (ABDG) Program, the Arizona Broadband Statewide Middle-Mile Strategic Plan, the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program and more. Together, these programs represent more than $1 billion in funding to expand broadband to unserved and underserved areas of the state.
