As a cooperative, FOCUS Broadband is dedicated to helping improve the communities we serve. Each year, FOCUS Broadband awards $40,000 to educators that are making a difference in the lives of students in our area through our Smart Connections Grant Program. We’ve awarded more than $1 million in community and education grants since the program’s inception in 2006. For more information regarding the grants program, email grants@focusbroadband.com.
