EPIC Celebration

Since 2021, 11 communities in the southeastern United States have taken the lead in bringing fast, affordable, and reliable Internet to their peers through projects supported by the Truist Expanding Potential in Communities (EPIC) Grant in partnership with the Internet Society. The grant program supported broadband initiatives to help alleviate disparities in education, employment, and social welfare in the Southeastern United States.

Now, we are celebrating and recognizing their successes and promoting continued growth and sustainability through a celebration event and learning opportunity.
