NTIA Releases BEAD Program’s State Funding Allocations

June 26, 2023 – The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has released the Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program’s funding allocations to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. A list of each state’s allocation is available on NTIA’s press release.

Each state and territory will use funding from the $42.45 billion BEAD Program to administer programs that award grants to deploy affordable, reliable high-speed broadband Internet service to everyone in America. States and territories will receive a formal notice of allocation on June 30, 2023. They will then have 180 days to submit their Initial Proposals describing how they propose to run their grant programs. Initial Proposals may be submitted starting on July 1, 2023. Once NTIA approves an Initial Proposal, which will occur on a rolling basis, states and territories will be permitted to request access to at least 20 percent of their allocated funds. Below are the allocations for every state and territory, ranked by total funding:
