The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) announced the awarding of $750,000 in grants to support non-profit and higher learning institutions in enhancing access to essential telecommunications services. Funding, distributed through the Nonprofit Access and Lifeline Outreach Grant Programs, aims to assist low-income households and individuals with disabilities. The PSC's Chairperson emphasized the comprehensive impact of these grants, noting that 19 entities would benefit. With $500,000 allocated to nonprofits and $250,000 to projects promoting the Lifeline Program, the initiative seeks to reduce barriers to affordable telecommunications in Wisconsin.
"We received many strong applications in the 2025 rounds of the Nonprofit Access and Lifeline Outreach Grant Programs. The Commission's decision to award funding to a large number of entities throughout the state will expand the reach and impact of these important programs and help ensure more people have access to critical telecommunications services and devices."
"The PSC awarded $500,000 from the Nonprofit Access Grant Program to 14 nonprofit organizations to help provide access to telecommunications services for low-income households and persons with a disability."
"The USF was created to promote and assist with the availability and affordability of telecommunications services in Wisconsin."
