Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) Outreach Grant Program
Deadline January 9, 2023
The FCC ACP helps ensure that qualifying low-income households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more. The FCC seeks to enlist and empower trusted community messengers to develop innovative outreach strategies to reach historically underserved and unserved communities, including low-income households, aging populations, individuals with disabilities, individuals with language barriers, racial and ethnic minorities, and rural inhabitants.

The ACP Outreach Grant Program application forms and instructions may be accessed here<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GPvs6lWT_HhjI02B5AyXRgyOvlJQsDC4DpQUJT3aQ6GK4xYoVTXMORMgx0_0_JGI9qCRcwL88nipQsc1NcQixYY5VRTHZQn9ut1DSlTcxiDPiZeCaYDCeObRbbuh0E4nlbAEp0KVoJdmPYkjHD-EME3v6WMyXhUstegqKij1Jq7RO4Dr4d2nMsl2qLmxrQ6z85ksBjsRXp_6V015Lx-P7VuEntDWmIN0ZeIvN0M87-JghKPkNNNtbhT6acZ1KI4j-lozh-mAAUtYMU_Z61tIeiL_RswKCqB0w_MjUivbLrj1oAej1d7MJA==&c=Bqkxl-0fgtMHzFNoMkdQJNkwA0mklpHOelI4htS6rylbZa3CjF7Q3Q==&ch=q7LHImHeVaT8hIl17HcuWHrk21LGClLoAPZ3vpN7JGKQljVw7umZTw==>.

For providers, the release of the first map comes alongside efforts already underway for submitting challenges of and corrections to the underlying “fabric” of locations that can be served by broadband providers. The commission has stressed that this pre-production draft of the map is far from final.

The accuracy of the maps and documenting the need will ultimately determine future funding. Following the fabric and coverage data challenge processes, an updated version of the FCC map will be used to determine the allocation of $42.5 billion in Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program funds to each state and territory, as well as determining eligibility of areas for funding under various programs. The map, particularly after the challenge processes are implemented, aims to be the most comprehensive collection of broadband data to date.

Asset Mapping for
Digital Inclusion
Asset mapping is an approach to planning and community development centered on identifying and building on a community’s existing resources. Deep community engagement is a key part of asset mapping, used to uncover existing strengths, skills, and connections that can be leveraged.

As an approach to data collection and documenting the current state of digital equity, asset mapping is inherently solution-oriented. This makes it a valuable counterbalance to more traditional assessments of needs and existing conditions, which tend to emphasize the deficiencies and barriers to digital equity that a community faces. While quantifying needs is an important step in the planning process, solely focusing on challenges tends to disregard the aspirations and strengths of community members. Rooted in the concepts of Asset Based Community Development<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GPvs6lWT_HhjI02B5AyXRgyOvlJQsDC4DpQUJT3aQ6GK4xYoVTXMOTe9XrRDgE19JG99HOg0ueeaU0-J0GEIR1ftvhVeIMQi0_gzt4YsHLxOWgD1DXvB_HG1jBGeqeLW_cjThvTDBlPl9_ZnwVvTHQHUg8R3dSk7W_9Egcvp4kgmufTUrvZoLBDcji-kqkp7kBrgfIYG1wE=&c=Bqkxl-0fgtMHzFNoMkdQJNkwA0mklpHOelI4htS6rylbZa3CjF7Q3Q==&ch=q7LHImHeVaT8hIl17HcuWHrk21LGClLoAPZ3vpN7JGKQljVw7umZTw==>, asset mapping recognizes that, with the necessary resources and structural support, communities possess the knowledge and skills to develop solutions from within.

Households are likely eligible if income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Line, or if a household member currently receives a government benefit like SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, Pell Grant, or Free and Reduced-Price Lunch.

If a household is eligible, they could receive:

  *      Up to a $30/month discount on internet service
  *      Up to a $75/month discount if household is on qualifying Tribal lands
  *      A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)
  *      A low cost service plan that may be fully covered through the ACP*

* Through a separate non-FCC initiative, additional no cost plans may be available to Affordable Connectivity Program enrollees.

Only one monthly service discount and one device discount is allowed per household. To receive the connected device discount, consumers need to enroll in the ACP with a participating provider that offers connected devices (Note: not all internet company offer device discounts.)
