Hello E-Rate Community,

This is a reminder that the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) Form 471
filing deadline is this Friday, August 13, 2021, at 11:59:59 p.m. ET.

During this application filing window, eligible schools, and libraries
can submit requests for funding to purchase eligible equipment and
services between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022, to meet the remote
learning needs of students, school staff, and library patrons who
would otherwise lack access to connected devices and broadband
connections sufficient to engage in remote learning.

[...]

If you have questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Lorrie
