The CETF Digital Equity Ecosystem is operated as a seamless continuum of supports for CBOs so they can focus on outreach and delivery of services in-language and in-culture to reach the most low-income households. The following are the CETF assets and resources to support the Digital Equity Ecosystem:- Working Relationships Statewide with Spectrum of Community, Public, and Private Partners- Operations at Scale for Cost-Effective Implementation and Grant Management- Ability to Partner with New CBOs as Additional Trusted Messengers to Build Local Capacity- Understanding and Experience in Planning and Managing Direct Notification- Tool Kit and Templates for Affordable Internet Service Offers in Multiple Languages- Get Connected Call Center with Ability to Accommodate Multiple Communications Channels- Curricula to Train Digital Navigators and Coach to Success- Digital Literacy Training Curricula and Facilitator Guides (UNESCO Framework 6 Elements)- Digital Literacy Skills Proficiency Self-Assessment for Common Metrics- Online Learning Platform with Curriculum Content and Self-Assessment Process- Experience in Organizing and Supporting In-Person Enrollment Events Statewide- Knowledge in Public Awareness Advertising in Community and Ethnic Media Channels- Established Strategies to Generate Revenue Streams for Computing Devices- Data Analysis to Benchmark Costs and Project Possible Impacts- Deep Experience in Integrating and Managing All Components of Digital Equity Ecosystem Enrolled 13,709 low-income Unconnected Households in affordable Internet service: (1) 12,239 Low-income Households statewide through a California Public Utilities Commission (CASF) California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) Call Center Grant; (2) 220 Low-Income Households in 5 AB617 Communities (West Oakland, East Oakland, Richmond, South Sacramento, Stockton) through a CPUC CASF Grant for 5 AB617 Communities; and (3) 1,250 Low-income Households through the Riverside County Partnership. Delivered Digital Literacy Training to 750 Low-Income Households: (1) 600 Low-Income Households in 3 Regions (Pacific Coast, Southeast Los Angeles County, and Riverside County) supported by CPUC CASF Grants; (2) 100 Low-Income Households in Silicon Valley and Central Coast supported by an AT&T Foundation Grant; and (3) 50 Low-Income Households in Silicon Valley supported by Kaiser Permanente Foundation. CETF completed and met all CETF T-Mobile MOU performance obligations. CETF awarded 35 Local Government Best Practices Check List Grants. The Jurisdiction project engaged and facilitated interdisciplinary collaboration in 3 required Learning Communities, and CETF also conducted 2 optional webinars to encourage and support Jurisdictions to submit CPUC CASF Grant Applications. 29 Action Plans were submitted by 35 Local Governments to distribute information about affordable Internet offers and Digital Literacy Training. 32 Final Reports have been compiled to date, and a Project Summary will be prepared for publication and circulation. Participants reported that the Project has been instrumental in shaping their understanding of what Local Governments can do to accelerate Deployment and Adoption. CETF awarded 55 Digital Equity Leadership Grants. The Leadership Grants awarded to date included a spectrum of organizations: RBCs; MPOs (including permit streamlining); San Joaquin Valley Network Request for Qualifications for Prospective Partnerships (RFQPP) process; NextGen Policy (grassroots engagement for Digital Equity and BEAD planning and ACP enrollment); and the California State Association of Counties. On December 31, 2024 CETF and >51 Partners were awarded a Competitive Grant ($12M total with $1M net to CETF) by the U.S. Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The CETF award was 1 of 24 across the nation and the only California-based recipient announced by NTIA in the first round of Competitive Grants, which speaks to the extent of inclusive collaboration forged by application and the quality of the NTIA proposal. The award was terminated on May 20, 2025 by NTIA, so CETF focused on a Pivot to the Future. CETF immediately informed Partners and prospective California Department of Technology (CDT) CalDEP Applications Collaborators regarding the NITA termination of the awarded Competitive Grant and the State Capacity Grant. CETF regrouped with Partners, and on behalf of the Partners, submitted a Get Connected! California Partnership (GCCP) Grant Application to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for a California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) Adoption Account. The purpose of this Grant is to build capacity among 46 Partners to accelerate Broadband Adoption by 15,0000 low-income households (HHs). The Partners include: 33 community-based organizations (CBOs); 12 Regional Broadband Consortia (RBC); and 1 Metropolitan Planning Organization (Southern California Council of Governments (SCAG) representing 6 Counties and 191 Cities). The RBCs and SCAG in turn will be working with 35 Local Governments to support implementation of Action Plans they have developed to notify residents about available affordable Internet service offers and Digital Literacy Training. 9909010 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 132 0 1 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X The Organization 4157442383 PO Box 5897 Concord CA 94524 Renee Martinez Chair 3.00 X X 16000 0 0 Darrell Stewart Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Carlos Ramos Secretary 2.00 X X 8500 0 0 Richard Motta Treasurer 6.00 X X 52250 0 0 Jeff Campbell Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Martha Escutia Director 2.00 X 3500 0 0 Francis Gipson Director 2.00 X 8750 0 0 Jim Kirkland Director 2.00 X 9500 0 0 Tim McCallion Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lenny Mendonca Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Shireen Santosham Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Barb Johnston Yellowlees Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sunne Wright McPeak President and CEO 40.00 X 426800 0 68613 Jessica Woznak Chief Opearting Officer 40.00 X 73200 0 25082 Anne O Chief Management Officer 40.00 X 180380 0 41356 Agustin Urgiles School2Home Executive Mana 40.00 X 203000 0 44914 Raquel Cinat Associate Vice President 40.00 X 181380 0 45450 Charlene Tatis Director of Digital Inclus 40.00 X 151700 0 49593 Alana O'Brien Vice President Operations 40.00 X 152900 0 50677 1467860 0 325685 6 0 1 0 SAESHE Inc 1055 W 7th St 2150 Los Angeles CA 90017 Outreach and communications support serv 1337624 California Advocacy LLC 1121 L Street Suite 103 Sacramento CA 95814 Lobbying and Communications Consultant 266000 Marissa Canche 17101 Hiawatha Drive Granda Hills CA 91344 Director of Broadband Adoption Grants 192600 Elaine Carpenter 2525 Larkens Street San Francisco CA 94109 Senior Consultant for School2Home 161220 Tres Es Inc PO Box 65663 Los Angeles CA 90065 Lobbyist 151000 3 2665283 62782 2728065 Public Partnership Pro 541900 760822 760822 760822 444101 444101 Miscellaneous Income 541900 5245 5245 5245 3938233 760822 0 449346 X 4076320 4076320 892443 758576 133867 1228513 1044235 184278 189470 161050 28420 165698 140843 24855 131465 111745 19720 19975 19155 820 17500 16782 718 10341 10341 2488497 2410338 78159 40639 34544 6095 58471 49700 8771 59904 50918 8986 46883 46883 117798 100128 17670 6710 5704 1006 58389 49631 8758 Public Information 500366 500366 Board Initiatives 153575 153575 CASF PC Computing Devic 44275 44275 CASF RC Computing Devic 44275 44275 89967 89967 10441474 9909010 532464 0 12998133 7400112 5222196 3105464 250667 1439586 150252 79592 77484 63298 138721 132856 6527 5865 83343 0 45391 18788602 12139308 101609 173233 222080 20000 84130 48128 407819 241361 X 18299257 11897947 81526 0 18380783 11897947 18788602 12139308 -6503241 20405 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 250346 1243346 1363002 797416 2700951 6355061 250346 1243346 1363002 797416 2700951 6355061 6355061 3055 5558 241957 425084 444101 1119755 74423 5245 79668 7554484 4087666 0.84120 0.98080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 429866 0 0 429866 0 Part II-B, Line 1: CETF staff provided information and assistance requested by legislators.
