Affordable Connectivity Program can help your household connect to the internet by providing discounts for broadband service. It also includes a one time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet purchased through a participating provider.
FCC AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) was created by the FCC to help households struggling to pay for internet service. Eligible households can enroll in the ACP through an approved provider by visiting ACPBenefit.org.
Note: Households do NOT have to contain Tribal members to take advantage of the $75 subsidy. A household located on land the FCC deems as 'Tribal lands' is eligible for the larger subsidy.

Purcell Public Schools has partnered with the Purcell School Foundation to participate in the Tax Credit program passed by the Legislature last year. An individual can donate up to $1000, a family $2000, or a business $100,000 for a single year and receive a 50% tax credit. If there is a two year commitment, the tax credit goes to 75% of the donation for both years. This is a great opportunity to support your local school district.
