We need the ACP to continue it's mission of bringing broadband to the most underserved communities and the most economically challenged Americans, but that program is about to run out of funding at the end of April 2024. Without your voice Congress could let the ACP lapse. This is where you come in. Message Congress and let them know how important ACP is to you and your community. A bit of background: The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is an essential program that encourages broadband providers to build into areas that would never make feasible economic sense to do so. This program also enables communities that are highly underserved with Internet connectivity to get affordable highspeed broadband at little to no cost to the consumer. It is a literal win-win for the communities, the customers, and the broadband providers. In the early 1900s the US invested similarly in the landline telephone network. The reason a century later you have such easy access to voice services is because of that program. This program is the modern equivalent that brings Internet access to areas that other won't have it or to people who could otherwise not afford it. If you have choose between food and Internet, you know what you're choosing. For many people in the US today that is a real choice they have to make. I grew up in a time not that long ago in upstate rural NY where I do remember not everyone had phone access. It blew my mind that there were still people who didn't have landline phone in the mid-1990s, but because of funding like this those people were able to get phone service before the end of the century. I know that sounds insane but that really happened. Today, I now see areas not so far from me that while they have phone they don't have Internet or (without this program) know people who couldn't afford it. Rural America isn't the only ones who benefit though from the ACP. This also helps urban, suburban, and exurban areas. Literally every square mile of the US benefits from this program. It is an investment in our future and a way to provide digital equity to those most in need of it. Please help support the ACP's continuation and let Congress know its importance today by visiting the website below. #afforadbleconnectivityprogram #acp #supportacp #broadband #digitaldivide #federalfunding #federalprograms #ruralbroadband #highspeedinternet #broadbandfunding #causes #investment https://lnkd.in/eAwrHjiw

Struggling to Connect with the NFP Market? Many small service providers struggle to find effective ways to engage with Not-For-Profit (NFP) organizations.   The market is vast, but without the right tools and resources, it can feel like you’re stuck in a maze, trying to connect with the right clients. This challenge can be frustrating. You’re offering valuable services, but without the proper marketing capabilities, it’s like shouting into the void.   Time and money are wasted on ineffective outreach strategies, and the NFP sector, full of potential, remains just out of reach. NFP Ocean was created to bridge this exact gap.   Our platform is designed to connect service providers with semi-qualified leads from the NFP sector, offering not just a directory but resources, community, and guidance to ensure you can thrive in this space. Join our waiting list now—the launch is just around the corner, and we don’t want you to miss out! https://lnkd.in/gkEFkA5Y

Is there someone here that works for Sam.gov? As non-us organizations, our grantees have faced several challenges getting their UEI/ registration. In some cases, renewing has been a pain too. Now, we have this case in which they lost their access to sam.gov due to the authentication methods and they need to renew ther registration. They have submitted several letters and the required documentation to request to change the authentication method so they can access their account. We have called and followed their instructions but nothing has been solved. We have done our best to help the organization but nothing has worked. Sam.gov requests things that doesnt apply to our country and despite we have explained, all the requests have been rejected. Since the UEI is linked to the NCAGE, creating a new registration is not an option. Any ideas or suggestions? Someone that has faced something similar?
