Funding opportunity
USDA Rural Development Telecommunications Programs
The USDA’s Telecommunications Programs, including the ReConnect Program, provide loans and grants to expand broadband and telecommunications services in rural areas with insufficient internet access. Eligible projects include broadband deployment, distance learning, telemedicine, and the establishment of community-based internet access centers. Applicants must serve rural populations with demonstrated broadband needs and possess the technical capacity to complete and maintain the project. These funds help bridge the digital divide by supporting access to high-speed internet and improving rural connectivity for education, healthcare, and economic development.
