The Public Service Commission (PSC) is currently accepting applications for the 2022 Nonprofit Access Grant Program to enable nonprofit groups to apply for partial funding of programs or projects that will facilitate affordable access to telecommunications.
The project must assist low income households or people with disabilities or customers in areas of the state that have relatively high costs of services in obtaining affordable access to a basic set essential telecommunications services.
The Wisconsin Universal Service Fund (USF) was created to promote and assist with the availability and affordability of telecommunications services in Wisconsin. Companies providing telecommunications services in Wisconsin are required to contribute to the USF. The Commission administers several programs funded by the USF, including the Nonprofit Access Grant Program which provides funding to nonprofit groups to facilitate affordable access to telecommunications services.
Funding Information
The Commission may award up to $500,000 in grants under this program on a fiscal year basis.
Eligibility Criteria
Any nonprofit group as defined as an IRS 501(c)(3) organization may apply for funding under the Nonprofit Access Grant Program.
