Grant Overview

Mississippi faces significant challenges in digital inclusion, with 24% of the state's rural population lacking access to broadband internet. This digital divide disproportionately affects small businesses, particularly in rural areas, hindering their ability to compete in an increasingly digital marketplace. Who faces this barrier locally? Small businesses in Mississippi's rural areas, particularly those owned by women and minorities, struggle to access digital technologies and online markets, limiting their growth and economic opportunities. The state's rural areas, such as the Mississippi Delta region, are disproportionately affected due to limited access to digital infrastructure. How does the grant address it? This funding provides technical assistance and training in digital literacy, e-commerce, and online marketing, helping small businesses in Mississippi improve their digital capabilities and competitiveness. Mississippi requires applicants to demonstrate experience working with small businesses in the state's rural areas and a clear understanding of the challenges they face. Unlike neighboring Alabama, Mississippi applications must prioritize support for businesses operating in the state's most rural counties. The grant provides technology resources and coaching tailored to the needs of Mississippi's small businesses, with a focus on improving digital literacy and online presence. ## Digital Inclusion for Small Businesses in Mississippi ## Mississippi's Rural Digital Divide ## Supporting Small Businesses in Mississippi
