CINCINNATI — The United Way of Greater Cincinnati has received a $20,000 grant through the 2025 Spectrum Digital Education program, Spectrum announced in a press release.

The funding is for four different nonprofits in the Cincinnati area that “bridge the educational gap with additional early learning opportunities.”

“Connectivity is the foundation for meaningful learning, professional growth and human connection, and helps to build strong, thriving communities,” Josh Moore, area vice president for Spectrum’s Midwest South Management Area, said in the release. “Spectrum Digital Education supports programs that empower community members to enhance their lives with connectivity, from providing digital literacy training to seniors to connecting students with important resources and tools for their education.”

The company states that Spectrum Digital Education has given more than $11 million to various nonprofits since it launched in 2017.

Those nonprofits had a focus on “digital literacy, workforce development and educational access in unserved and undeserved communities.”

Just this year, Spectrum's Digital Education program is spreading $1.3 million across 66 different groups.

The release states that the United Way of Greater Cincinnati will work with four other community groups to expand access to learning resources. Those groups include FIESTA, Everybody is LITT, Healthy Moms and Babes, and Brown Hands Literacy. The money will be going to learning kits for each of these nonprofits, consisting of a Kindle fire and other items useful for education.

“We appreciate partners like Spectrum that understand the value of investing in our youngest learners,” Moira Weir, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Cincinnati, said in the release. “Together, we can reach further, dig deeper and create a brighter future for children and families in Greater Cincinnati”.

Spectrum has now given the United Way of Greater Cincinnati a total of $30,000.
