Federal Funding for Native Entities: Application Guidance for NEGP & TBCP 3

The Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program and the Native Entity Grant Program, designed to support Native Entities in implementing essential broadband adoption and usage programs, are open for application. Indian Tribes, Alaska Native entities, and Native Hawaiian organizations are eligible applicants for both programs. The NEGP prioritizes broadband adoption and usage. TBCP funds broadband infrastructure, usage, and adoption, but prioritizes use and adoption. NDIA recommends that anyone interested in applying for either program read the NEGP NOFO, TBCP 3 NOFO, and other National Telecommunications and Information Administration-prepared resources (NEGP & TBCP 3).
