# Grant Proposal: Digital Literacy Bridge Program
1. Executive Summary
The Digital Literacy Bridge Program seeks $150,000 over 18 months to provide hands-on technology training to 500 adults aged 55+ in rural Appalachian communities. With 42% of adults over 60 in the target region lacking basic digital skills (Pew Research, 2025), this initiative will deliver structured workshops, one-on-one mentoring, and take-home devices to close the digital divide. Expected outcomes include 85% participant completion rate and measurable improvement in online service access (healthcare portals, banking, government services).
2. Statement of Need
Rural Appalachian counties face a compounding crisis: aging populations (28% over 60 vs. national 17%) coupled with the lowest broadband adoption rates in the continental US (FCC Broadband Report, 2025).

Tips for Best Results
- 💡Mirror the funder's language — read their mission statement and weave their priorities into your narrative

- 💡Budget items should always connect back to project objectives — unexplained line items raise red flags
- 💡Include a logic model or theory of change diagram if the application allows attachments
