New Funding Related to Tech-based Economic Development 

Hitachi Foundation
The Foundation invites applications for qualification to compete for its
Business and Communities Grants program. The effort focuses on both the
role of businesses and communities to address the conditions that
perpetuate economic isolation in America through business-community
partnerships and to strengthen the field of corporate citizenship. The
Foundation will focus on partnerships that enable economically isolated
people to retain and advance in their jobs (traditionally low-wage
positions), earn living wages, and accumulate savings and assets.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. nonprofit organizations who meet the
online qualifying process. More information is available at:
