Rocket Mortgage Classic Continues to Give
More than $620,000 has been allocated toward the digital inclusion partnership Connect 313, bringing the total for Changing the Course initiative to more than $3.8 million
The campaign to enroll Detroit families into the Affordable Connectivity Program (formerly the Emergency Broadband Benefit) recently surpassed 100,000 households.
Through its donations the Rocket Mortgage Classic is helping the least digitally connected city in the country, Detroit, become a model for digital inclusion and has the highest rate of ACP signups nationwide.
Since 2019, the Rocket Mortgage Classic has invested more than $6.8 million into local charitable organizations, including more than $3.8 million through its landmark “Changing the Course” digital inclusion effort.
Connect 313 continues to be a national leader in driving digital connectivity. A partnership between the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Rocket Community Fund, Microsoft, City of Detroit and others, Connect 313 has recently surpassed its 100,000th household enrolled in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). Detroit’s current ACP enrollment stands at 102,123 homes, representing more than 54% of qualified properties – the highest rate of enrollment nationwide for cities with more than 150,000 eligible households.
“Closing the digital divide is one of the most important things we can do as a city to give Detroiters access to opportunity, and the Rocket Giving Fund has been a great partner in that effort,” said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. “Thanks to its efforts with Connect 313 and others, more Detroiters of all ages are getting connected, at home and at 22 neighborhood tech hubs across the city.”
The fifth-annual Rocket Mortgage Classic will be held June 27 – July 2 at the historic Detroit Golf Club.
