In November 2022, the FCC published a Notice of Funding Opportunity
(NOFO) seeking community partners to develop outreach programs to
promote awareness of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) among
eligible households in historically underserved and unserved
communities as part of the ACP Outreach Grant Program. On Friday, March
10, 2023, the FCC announced approximately $66 million in grant funding
for two of the four sub-programs in the Outreach Program: the National Competitive Outreach Program (NCOP) and the Tribal Competitive
Outreach Program (TCOP). The FCC's announcement accepts about 190 grant applicants, amounting to $60 million for the NCOP, and 20 grant
applicants, amounting to about $6 million for the TCOP.

Once the Notice of Awards are issued, grant recipients will have 30
days to accept the awards. These funds will be used for digital
campaigns, door-to-door canvassing, operate phone banks, distribute
direct mail, host ACP application enrollment and outreach events in 50
states and territories. Grants in the other two sub-programs in the
Outreach Grant Program, the Your Home, Your Internet Outreach Grants
and the ACP Navigator Pilot Program Outreach Grants, will be announced
in the future.
