Grant Funding Support

Secure Grant Funds to Improve and Expand Connectivity

Grant Writing, Research, Submission, and Reporting Support Services

Federal, state, and local governments are currently offering a wide range of grants to help support communities and businesses in improving their broadband infrastructure and communication networks. At CCI, we believe that every community, and every person, should have the ability to stay connected. We have developed a Grant Funding Support Program to help our clients receive maximum grant funds and to make the most of their budget once awarded.

“We’re in the midst of a golden era of connectivity and we are well positioned to assist service providers in all aspects of outside plant network deployment, supporting everyone’s right to high-speed internet. It is a privilege to be a part of something that genuinely improves people’s lives.”
