The FY2027 President's Budget requests — for Digital Equity Grants, within Commerce's Digital Equity account.
FY2026–FY2026
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $497.7M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Commerce discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Commerce's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
In May 2025, the Administration announced the termination of the Digital Equity Act programs due to reliance on race-based preferences that are inconsistent with constitutional principles. In FY 2026, NTIA will carry out an orderly shutdown of the programs, including termination and closeout of previously awarded grants. The termination of the Digital Equity Act programs does not apply to those funds statutorily set aside for Native Entities.
Extracted from National Telecommunications and Information Administration, p. 128. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
1 linked contract. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.
| Contract | Vendor | Confidence | Obligated |

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
Ask this budget line
Answers come from the figures on this page and nothing else. These dollars are parsed from Commerce's Congressional Justification and are approximate — confirm anything that matters against the cited page.
