Foundation for Rural Service grants for telecommunications, development and education

They are relatively small grants but might be enough to get people to the table to discuss access or deploy some broadband adoption programs, from the Foundation for Rural Service

As part of its ongoing commitment to rural communities across the country, the Foundation for Rural Service provides annual grants for communities served by NTCA members.  The goal of this program is to support local efforts to build and sustain a high quality of life in rural America. Grants will be concentrated in four major areas:

  • Business Development
  • Community Development
  • Education
  • Telecommunications

Grants can range from $250 to $5000 that go back in to rural communities, every year.
