## 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.
