Analogy/Comparison
Think of it like giving awards to schools that are doing a great job teaching kids about computers and the internet, so everyone has a fair chance to learn.

For example, the Muckleshoot Tribe is using a grant to create a digital equity center where people can get devices and learn new skills.
