QUILT Corporation Provides Digital Literacy And Affordable Internet To Communities
Dwayne Douglas founded QUILT Corporation and NODE Networks in 2020 after realizing that there were people that are disconnected from the internet and didn’t understand the value of engaging in the digital economy. Prior to founding QUILT and NODE, Douglas was working in IT and Telecommunications, but wasn’t aware there were communities that were experiencing digital equity issues. He knew what was needed was a nonprofit that would provide digital literacy skills and an ISP that would provide affordable access to the internet.
