Funds For Learning — Your E-rate Guides

About

The people who guide the process

We opened in 1997 as the nation’s first dedicated E-rate compliance services firm, and helping schools and libraries with E-rate is still our work. We don’t sell any E-rate eligible products or services, so our advice isn’t tied to a sale.

Our mission

Transforming student lives

Our mission is to transform student lives by helping K-12 schools and public libraries secure federal funding for internet access.

Since 1997 our Guides have walked alongside applicants through every stage of the E-rate program, from the first Form 470 to the funding commitment and beyond.

How Guides work

Five core values

01

Professional

We treat people with respect and courtesy, tell the truth, and take responsibility for our work. We hold to high standards of integrity and ethics without exception.

02

Aware

We pay close attention to what other people need. We hold ourselves accountable and stay disciplined until the work is done.

03

Reliable

We do good work consistently, year after year, and our teammates can count on us.

04

Team player

We value each other’s strengths and ask each other for help, input, and feedback. We work as one FFL team.

05

Solution finder

We stay positive when we meet resistance, and we find creative ways to meet the needs of the people we serve.

Meet the Guides who will work your file

Every client has a team of Guides who know their file. Tell us about your district or library, and we’ll introduce you.

Independent by design

Funds For Learning sells no E-rate eligible services, holds no SPIN, and accepts no payments from service providers tied to their sales to applicants.
