BEAD Stakeholder Toolkit

BEAD Stakeholder Toolkit

The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program is helping more Michigan communities get access to fast, reliable internet. Led by the Michigan High-Speed Internet Office (MIHI), the program's goal is to make sure people, businesses and community organizations in every part of the state have access to the internet service they need. By expanding broadband access, the program is helping build a more connected Michigan. 

MIHI has developed communications resources to help local governments and community organizations share information about the BEAD Program with the people they serve. Use the resources on this page to help your community understand the program and stay informed as BEAD moves forward in Michigan.

I am a:

  • Community Anchor Institutions (CAI) or Nonprofit Organization

    Community organizations and institutions are trusted sources of information and support for the people they serve. As BEAD expands access to high-speed internet across Michigan, your organization can help residents understand what to expect and how better internet access can create new opportunities for students, healthcare, job seekers and families.

    Start by reviewing the Partner Guide for an overview of the BEAD Program, what communities can expect and where to find trusted program information and updates from MIHI.

    Then, use the resources in the toolkit below to share BEAD information with your community through your organization’s communications channels.

  • Local or Tribal Government

    Local and Tribal governments are important partners in helping communities understand the BEAD Program and what broadband expansion means for their area. Reliable internet can support education, healthcare, economic opportunity, public and government services, communication and community growth. Local and Tribal governments can help residents understand what to expect as projects move forward and connect them with trusted information and resources.
