The Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) received a grant in the amount of $35.1 million on behalf of 73 Tribes, ANCs, and Tribal organizations. The grant is intended to reduce barriers to broadband usage among Alaska Natives by providing broadband-enabled devices, subsidizing broadband service, and implementing digital skills and workforce training for each Shareholder household. Additionally, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration just announced another grant opportunity to bring broadband and computer equipment to communities through its Digital Equity Program.
