Fiber Broadband Association and Broadband.Money to Stream Best Broadband Funding Strategies

Monthly webinar series to guide industry through timely broadband funding opportunities and requirements

The Fiber Broadband Association and Broadband.Money today announced a new webinar series, titled “Where’s The Funding,” focused on broadband funding strategies and best practices. The content is a resource for broadband providers, state broadband offices, and communities that provides timely information on broadband funding opportunities, programs, grant strategies, audit guides, key milestones, and application deadlines.

“The fiber broadband industry is at the beginning of its largest investment cycle ever, thanks to federal funding from the BEAD program. Time is of the essence for providers and communities to fully understand available broadband funding options and develop personalized strategies that will close the digital equity gap,” said Gary Bolton, President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association. “Working with Broadband.Money ensures the webinar series will offer the industry’s top financing experts that will provide key insights and strategies for funding.”

“We’re dedicated to providing the industry with tools and resources to more easily navigate the complexity of funding. Our guides, kits, and directories help local providers and community partnerships win, and this webinar series will take education even further,” said Jase Wilson, Founder of Ready.net and Broadband.Money. “Our organization shares many common goals with the Fiber Broadband Association—one being to provide valuable resources that help broadband providers and communities deploy affordable, reliable connectivity. The webinar series allows us to join efforts and offer experts from across the broadband industry to ensure we are delivering essential content to help communities advance connectivity to every household.”

The 12-episode “Where’s the Funding” webinar series launches Wednesday, January 18, at 11:00am ET, and will recur monthly on the third Wednesday of each month. The first episode, titled “Intro to BEAD Matching Funds,” will feature Ready.net co-founders Jase Wilson and Mike Faloon. The Ready.net team built Broadband.Money tools to help smaller and non-traditional broadband grant applicants build complete applications – including matching funds from many providers. The episode will provide an overview of the rules, look at the year ahead, and include tips for grant applicants on lining up their matching contributions.
