Support from the Blandin Foundation

Throughout the entire process, participating communities received critical support from the Blandin Foundation including the following:

Program Guide: A program guide will help each community organize and conduct each stage of the process.

Toolkit: The Get Broadband Toolkit includes a collection of CD's, presentations, flyers, announcements. Interactive computer program demos and other multimedia materials that can be used at community education events.

Funding: Blandin Foundation will provide each Get Broadband community with up to $15,000 in grant funds to support community education efforts. To access the funds, the community must deliver a one-to-one cash match.

Coaching and Convening: Get Broadband communities will come together to share information, experiences and resources. The communities will be coached on local leadership capacity development through workshops with experts on technology, marketing and applications.
