The FloridaCommerce Office of Broadband has launched the Broadband Grant Registration Portal to streamline the application process for future broadband grant programs.
The Office is preparing to open grant application windows for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, the BEAD Workforce Grant Program, and the Digital Capacity Grant Program. These programs will provide funding for broadband infrastructure, workforce and economic opportunities, cybersecurity, and digital literacy initiatives across Florida—especially in small cities and rural communities.
The Broadband Grant Registration Portal is a precursor to the Broadband Application Portal. Eligible applicants will preregister in the Registration Portal to receive credentials for the Broadband Application Portal. This preregistration will help confirm eligible applicants before the application cycles open.
Who is Eligible to Register?
