Funding / Treasury
Capital Projects Fund
Treasury makes direct formula grants to each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, territories, freely associated states, and Tribal governments. A recipient government (typically a state broadband office or budget office) then deploys the funds itself or subawards them to local governments, ISPs, or other entities through state-run programs, primarily for broadband infrastructure. There is no competitive federal NOFO at the prime-recipient level; eligibility is statutory and the amount is set by formula.
