About
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
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
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.
We pay close attention to what other people need. We hold ourselves accountable and stay disciplined until the work is done.
We do good work consistently, year after year, and our teammates can count on us.
We value each other’s strengths and ask each other for help, input, and feedback. We work as one FFL team.
We stay positive when we meet resistance, and we find creative ways to meet the needs of the people we serve.
