FCC Announces 2nd Round of ACP Tribal Outreach Grant Program Awards

The Federal Communications Commission made final funding allocations for the Affordable Connectivity Outreach Grant Program (ACP Outreach Grant Program), and Tribal Competitive Outreach Program (TCOP) Round 2. The total amount of final funds announced for TCOP Round 2 is over $1.2 million. The extensive demand for ACP outreach funding so far underscores the need for these funds and the importance of reaching the eligible households that have not yet enrolled in the ACP. This new funding opportunity for ACP outreach is intended to provide funding to five additional Tribal organizations, beyond the 20 TCOP grant recipients that were announced as part of the FCC's March 10, 2023 funding announcement. The awardees are as follows:

• Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, ID: $305,571
• Waimanalo Hawaiian Homes Association, HI: $309,103
• Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Radio, SD: $282,046
• Burns Paiute Tribe, OR: $87,360
• Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, WA: $231,959
