Guide to Federal Broadband Funding Opportunities in the US

This guide offers an overview of federal funding options that could provide financial support to Tribal, state, and local governments and utilities in their efforts to expand broadband infrastructure. Varying dramatically in size, these funding opportunities target a wide variety of deployment scenarios and end users. The programs encompass infrastructure buildout, service subsidies, and technical planning assistance. This guide provides information on a range of funding opportunities—most of which are currently open, but some of which may be awaiting future funding. We include the latter because application deadlines and funding allocations are a moving target for many programs, and we believe there is value in being aware of programs that might be available again in the future.
