NTIA Awarding Almost $18 Million to Tribal Communities

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13, 2025 – Tribal entities will be getting a broadband boost thanks to a new round of funding from the Biden Administration. 

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced Friday that it awarded nearly $18 million in funding to seven tribes that span across Alaska, Washington, Arizona, and North Dakota.

A majority of the funding will be prepaying broadband services for thousands of tribal homes and public buildings, while the rest will go toward digital training opportunities to promote digital equity.
