Although the federal broadband stimulus programs have ended, many other sources of federal funding for broadband projects are available. In this webinar, our speakers will discuss the key federal programs that support broadband projects, from the FCC to the Department of Commerce, HUD, the Department of Agriculture and more. Learn about the variety of creative approaches for tapping into federal grants and loans, from serving your schools to partnering with rural healthcare establishments to uncovering resources in your community that can serve as assets in funding applications. Learn what these programs cover, how to qualify for them, and how to avoid pitfalls that could result in loss of benefits or even refunds.

Speakers: Jim Baller, President, CLIC & President of Baller Stokes & Lide, PC, Washington, D.C. & Ashley Stelfox, CLIC General Counsel & Associate, Baller Stokes & Lide, PC, Washington, D.C.
