Awards packages will make it possible for cities with the most innovative ideas to put their aspirational plans into action.
Winning cities will benefit from various types of support, including cash grants to an approved 501(c)(3) organization in the city to advance the proposal, technical support from our business partners, and other communications and technology expertise.
All applicants will have the opportunity for cross-city collaboration through a learning community to elevate best practices, enable joint problem solving, and promote collective success.
Applicants with promising big ideas will be considered for grants awards of $100K and smaller runner-up grants as well as the opportunity to participate in a year-long community of practice.
