PCN
Background
MACC created the PEG/PCN Grant Fund in 1999 as a part of the cable franchise with AT&T Broadband (now operating as Comcast). MACC receives funds from Comcast and Frontier to provide grants for Public, Education, and Government (PEG) Access and for users of the Public Communications Network (PCN).
Grants are available for capital support for Designated Access Providers and for operating and/or capital support for PCN Users.
Only local government agencies, schools, and non-profit organizations within the physical boundaries of the MACC Franchise Area are eligible to apply for grants.
The MACC Commission appoints a five-member citizen committee to review grant applications to determine eligibility and merit. The Commission considers the Committee's recommendations and makes the final decision on grant awards.
Application Process
There are two grant cycles each year -- Spring (from late March to mid-June) and Fall (from late October to February)
