$6 million for grants in its first year of operation to
increase access to the Internet for disadvantaged youth

Grants of computer equipment and software are available to
schools and youth organizations that provide educational
programs in low-income communities. The foundation program
will donate new Internet appliances and laser printers as
well as all the ancillary equipment necessary to connect
the devices, including network hubs, cables, and
electrical surge protectors. The foundation expects to
make at least 200 grants in its first year of operation
