E-RATE funding for schools
Do you find navigating the E-Rate forms, deadlines, and rules challenging, not to mention finding the time to collect and go through bids and choose a provider? It can feel like applying for E-Rate is a full-time job! Trying to make the most of E-Rate funding can sometimes be confusing, and daunting even if you do have a dedicated IT person or team.
What if you are a school without a dedicated IT person or department? How do you know what to ask for? What is a Form 470? What is CIPA? Why do you care? We’ve heard the frustration firsthand from the schools we’ve partnered with when it comes time for E-Rate applications, which is why we want to collaborate with you through this process.
We want to support you (and your IT department if you are fortunate to have one) so you don’t miss out on any vital pieces of technology that you could receive through E-Rate funding.
why technology by design?
Technology By Design brings expertise in technology, as well as a strong understanding of the place of technology within E-Rate. We don’t want it to end with your E-Rate application though. We have a desire to create long-lasting partnerships well beyond the E-Rate process.
When considering us as your trusted technology partner, consider these 3 essential principles:
Protect. TBD understands the importance of CIPA compliance, and how to achieve it. We are nationally recognized for expertise in cybersecurity and will bring this expertise to your school.
Support. TBD works for YOU. We represent your interests-not a vendor, a provider, or an association. We can provide and support networking, wireless networking, and network security. We also have expertise supporting Google, Windows, and Apple technologies in schools.
Collaborate. TBD collaborates with E-Rate consultants, internet service providers, and print providers, and we have a SPIN number, making us eligible to accept E-Rate funds.
