Broadband Infrastructure Funding Services

The Internet for All initiative was launched in May 2022, providing $65 billion in funding across ten programs from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), or IIJA, to support efforts to expand broadband access and provide affordable, reliable high-speed internet.

Stateside is tracking and monitoring major state policy announcements and plans, as well as important state-level broadband program deadlines, RFPs & RFQs, meeting dates, and award information.

WHAT’S THE LATEST?

As of May 2024, Stateside has identified over 163 funding opportunities and 3,600 recipients of various broadband funding awards that have been updated in our Broadband Grant Monitoring Database.

Our database is designed to capture the aspects of Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) our clients care about, including timelines, project specs, funding amounts, agency contact information, and funding opportunity types. Our information is vetted and updated throughout the week as new information is made available by our team of specialists with relevant policy backgrounds. We also partner with Calco Consulting Group to help supply procurement information and offer additional process guidance.

STATESIDE'S BROADBAND REPORT

Stateside’s Broadband Report is a comprehensive, interactive document that covers the most recent waves of historic broadband funding from the federal government, which are flowing to the states and, in turn, to the private sector. Billions of dollars have been allocated to states via the American Rescue Plan and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Grant funding includes set-asides for broadband infrastructure and digital access for populations not currently served by high-speed internet or lacking the skills needed to fully participate in the digital world.

Stateside is documenting the latest developments, including up-to-the-minute announcements, program information, application requirements, report filings, and governance structures. A myriad of federal and state deadlines and program provisions are identified and organized for quick access. State pages offer an in-depth look at current broadband commitments and pending program details. Significant federal and industry issues are also noted in real-time. Contact us to learn more.
