Turning broadband ambitions into reality

Too many communities have a vision for broadband but lack the right partner to bring it to life. Our Development Services help communities and ISPs get shovel-ready, secure investment, and set their projects up for long-term success. From technical expertise and financial modeling to partnership building and community engagement, we offer flexible support tailored to your goals. As a nonprofit impact fund that has partnered with over 100 communities across the country, we’re committed to delivering high-quality broadband to the people who need it most.
