1. Share on your social accounts.
Tell your social media followers about the Affordable Connectivity Program. Many haven’t heard of the ACP or know what they need to do to enroll. Use your social media accounts to explain what the benefit provides and how to qualify. We recommend linking to GetACP.org where individuals can answer a few questions to quickly determine if they qualify, what documents they’ll need to apply, and what affordable plans are available in their area.

2. Add ACP information to your website.
Lack of trust in government programs and free services is a common barrier that keeps eligible households from signing up for the ACP. As a trusted community partner, your online presence can be a valuable resource for sharing information and promoting the ACP benefit.
3. Tell the media.
Local media coverage can help to amplify your efforts to promote the ACP. Consider what news stations your community members watch, read or listen to. Find trusted media partners, then share information about ACP and the GetACP.org pre-enrollment tool with them. Bonus points if the content is easy for your contacts to quickly share on their own platforms.

4. Loop in local partners.
Community members who don’t have high-speed home broadband, often access the internet at a local library or a community center. These local institutions are critical partners for reaching individuals who have a need for internet access but struggle to afford the cost of connecting at home. By equipping partners, such as schools, libraries, and housing associations, with materials that can be incorporated into their current community-based activities and events, we can spread the word about this valuable benefit.
Federal public housing residents are automatically eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program. Public housing partners can share ACP information with materials like door hangers, signs posted in elevators, and flyers that can be placed in common areas.

5. Partner with a popular event.
Before planning your own, get started by tabling at an existing popular event in your community to promote the ACP. Consider events that might be popular with ACP-eligible community members in your area, such as local fairs, back-to-school events, and free holiday celebrations.
Leaders from Central Falls, Rhode Island partnered with an existing back-to-school event where a local non-profit gave out free backpacks. The city was able to include flyers with the giveaways.
