We'll be adding plenty for all of you in other states as well. Helping those who help others.

This blog post is specifically for California Organizations because it's a special program administered by the California Public Utilities Commission.

Qualifying entities who apply for and are subsequently added to the list to participate in the CTF (California Teleconnect Fund) receive an ongoing 50% reduction to their Telephone and Internet bills!

We have to get the word out because although the program has been around since 1996 there are only 850 CBO's (Community Based Organizations) on this list at present.

There are a number of fees, taxes, and surcharges on every Californians telephone bill. If you look at yours you will see you are paying into the CTF. It has grown into a 33 MILLION DOLLAR fund for fiscal year '08-'09.

By July, 2009, the PUC will be starting their own outreach program (finally). But it appears they plan to hire only two agents to spread the word and aid in the application process for the entire state!

The Advocacy Resources for Community Managed Technologies Group is being proactive in trying to help you NOW with regards to this since saving 50% could result in freeing up much needed funds for more important endeavors and allow you to better serve the community.

Appreciative Initiation
Honourable gentleman,
First of all would be be your generous effort if you will find mistakes in my language than kindly please forgive me because I'm wriitng from the third world country Nepal, having less education. thank you, please. It was really hearty for us to know the initation of the government for the organizations in the state of california taking such an initation. When viewing the blog I was very much feeling appreciative of the works.

Here in our country where we the non profits do not have the essential office instruments such as telephone, fax or the computer, there in your stateyou have given the facility of 50 % telephone bills reduction and internet charges from since 1996. Its really wonderful. From my sincere hearts I do wish that the word will be spread well and the works of The Advocacy Resources for Community Managed Technologies Group will be a good initiative appreciated by all.
With best wishes,
Smiles,
Basistha.
