Affordable Connectivity Outreach Grant Program - Pilot Program Grants
The FCC issues this NOFO to describe the requirements under which it will award grants for YHYI and NPP participants (collectively, Pilot Program Outreach Grants). A separate NOFO has been issued for NCOP and TCOP. The ACP Outreach Grant Program is one tool among a comprehensive set of measures authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (Infrastructure Act) and implemented by the FCC to help bridge the digital divide. The ACP Outreach Grant Program will help increase awareness of and participation in the ACP among eligible households. The Pilot Program Outreach Grants provide new federal funding for the FCC to grant eligible governmental entities and third-party organizations with the funding and resources needed to increase awareness of and participation in the ACP among those households most in need of affordable connectivity. See Section IV - Program Description of this NOFO for the full program description.
