We are thrilled to announce two new initiatives to help you maximize your success with BEAD Funding. Our new BEAD Application Service is designed to help you submit grant applications faster and with higher chances of success. And our new BEAD Grant Resource Center is an online knowledge hub packed with insights, strategies, and tools to simplify the grant application process.
As states roll out BEAD funding opportunities at an unprecedented pace, providers need to act quickly to secure funding and stay competitive. Our expertise, coupled with AI-driven tools, ensures that service providers can confidently navigate the process with accuracy and efficiency.
Why the BEAD Application Service Matters
With grant windows as short as four weeks, broadband providers must rapidly assess costs, analyze data, and develop strong business cases to secure funding. The VCTI BEAD Application Service streamlines this process by guiding providers through a five-step approach to identify the most lucrative expansion opportunities and submit strong, data-driven applications:
- Market Assessment – Evaluates BEAD-eligible locations near existing networks, factoring in road density, competition, demographics, and additional potential expansion areas.
- Market Quantification – Identifies viable clusters, estimating Cost per Passing and Rough Order of Magnitude costs.
- Market Optimization – Fine-tunes expansion opportunities with deeper insights into non-grant eligible areas and competitor risks.
- Network Plan – Develops detailed network plans integrating costs, designs, mapping, and grant funding projections.
- Grant Preparation & Submission – Handles the full application process, ensuring compliance, maximizing eligibility, and improving the probability of success.
With a proven track record—having assisted in securing over $382 million in grant funding and planning $2 billion in network build projects—we are uniquely positioned to help service providers achieve success in their BEAD grant applications.
