Digital Equity Ecosystem Mapping (DEEM)

In February 2023, the State of California launched the Digital Equity Ecosystem Mapping (DEEM) tool to further build out the State’s inventory of digital equity assets and identify organizations, programs, services, funding, and other resources that are, or can be, leveraged to promote digital equity and support the implementation of the Digital Equity Plan. 

The DEEM tool was disseminated in English and Spanish, and specific DEEM tools were created for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and for those living on tribal lands. 

To add your organization to California’s asset inventory, please use the links below. The DEEM tool closes on January 25, 2024.

Results of DEEM responses will inform the State about digital equity resource gaps that may exist in various regions and will potentially assist the State in deciding how funding will be spent in the years ahead to address broadband access, affordability, and adoption across California.
