Funds For Learning (FFL) works with public and private schools, school districts, consortia, and libraries of all sizes all across the country to help them navigate the E‑rate program.   Service at FFL is tailored to the needs of each client, providing an end‑to‑end solution for some and more limited Compliance Services for others.

Funds For Learning’s breadth of real‑world, hands‑on E‑rate experience provides our customers with "Best in Class" service.  Fully committed to helping applicants receive successful benefits through participation in the E‑rate program, FFL does not disappear when E‑rate applications are filed.

Why having a compliance expert is becoming increasingly important:

• FCC and USAC spending more resources on auditing
• BearingPoint is conducting 1000 "mini‑audits" per year
• FCC is working with KPMG on additional audits
• No one wants to be in the position of returning E‑rate dollars due to non‑compliance
• Because the education technology section (Title IID) of NCLB and state education budgets continue to shrink – it is critical you understand how to use your E‑rate dollars effectively

Funds For Learning puts you on the path to compliance.  Whether you need full complaince services or have specific consultation or training needs, we have the high quality solutions that make navigating the process easier.  Contact a Compliance Service Specialist today to help assess your E-rate needs and receive a tailored compliance package quote.

Funds For Learning’s knowledge is derived from several sources.  Because the organization focuses solely on services related to the E‑rate program, we monitor program developments on a daily basis. This means that the FFL staff:

• Is in contact with Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) officials and staff members at all levels on a regular basis
• Manages all paperwork associated with the payment and reimbursement process
• Prepares and files appeals at the discretion of the client
• Tracks every Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision affecting the E‑rate program
• Monitors all SLD board meetings and public communications including conference calls for applicants and service providers
• Communicates regularly with federal and state education officials, FCC and congressional staff, and other members of the educational technology community
• Has developed enhanced database systems to monitor all publicly disclosed program‑related funding approvals, rejections and disbursements, including the basis on which the SLD has rejected the funding commitments of all E‑rate program applicants
• Monitors and catalogs all E‑rate appeals and audit decisions issued by the FCC
