Creating access for all

We help people get connected

Please note: The Internet Access Fund is on hold and is not currently accepting new requests for funding. You can still get on our waitlist here for when funding is available.

Good, high-speed internet access is more important now than ever for work, school, or just to stay in touch with friends and family, but for many it can be difficult to afford. Never before have there been as many options available to help you get connected and pay for your internet bill for six months. The Internet Access Support Program (IASP) can explain these options and walk you through the process to apply. 

This program is open to people who live in the greater KC region.* It can help people of all ages:

• Sign up for federal benefit programs like the Lifeline Program

• Choose the best ISP and services for your budget

• Refer you to partners that can help with computers, digital skills classes, or other resources

Some sources of support may only be available to those who meet certain income limits. Even for households who do not qualify for direct benefits and subsidies, however, IASP may be able to help individuals better understand their internet bills and discover ways of lowering their costs through negotiation, cord cutting, or other strategies. 

* The IASP is open to residents of Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte, and Ray counties in Missouri, and Johnson, Miami, Leavenworth, and Wyandotte counties in Kansas
