As a nonprofit leader in addressing the digital divide, the Benton Foundation serves as producer and coordinator of the Digital Divide Network. Strong industry partnerships have helped foster an environment in which strategic integration of digital divide initiatives is possible with nonprofits and governments. DDN serves as a catalyst for developing new, innovative digital divide strategies and for making current initiatives more strategic, more partner-based and more outcome-oriented, with less duplication of effort and more learning from each others' activities. The shared knowledge base that emerges from DDN will go a long way toward establishing the right benchmarks for judging the effectiveness of digital divide initiatives.

The articles and resources catalogued in the Network are the result of research and writing by the Benton Foundation and submissions by individuals and organizations actively involved in bridging the divide. The Network's content is dynamic and is subject to ongoing review for timeliness, relevance, and other factors.
