Deadline TODAY: $43 billion in grant opportunities
Several broadband programs have deadlines in the coming weeks. Read more below along with a helpful new resource.
The following funding opportunities have deadlines coming up:
Digital Equity Planning Grants (Link to Notice of Funding Opportunity) that provide places create plans to improve broadband access especially among low-income households, disinvested groups, rural residents, and more. Deadline is TODAY (July 12) at 11:59 PM ET
Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program (link to NOFO). Funding for broadband planning, infrastructure deployment and adoption programs for states. More information can be found on this Tracker’s previous post here. Deadline to submit a letter of intent is July 18.
Another helpful resource:
The Government Finance Officers Association maintains a list of currently open funding opportunities from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (note: GFOA’s link / url sometimes says unavailable, just reload or try again later and it should eventually work). This tool is a great way to catch up on existing opportunities. This tracker will continue to provide swift notifications each time a new funding opportunity is announced and will periodically share helpful outside resources (like the one above from the Government Finance Officers Association).
