#goodfinancialgrantpractice. I highly recommend reading this wonderful publication on how funders can be authentic allies to the grantee community.

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
