“Keenwire was instrumental to our successful ARRA RUS bid in Round One! They are easy to work with and were critical members of our grant application team. The results speak for themselves – Rivada SeaLion has been awarded a $31M BIP Grant, after being selected as one in 18 out of 2,200 RUS BIP/BTOP applicants Nationwide to proceed to the second phase and the first company in the Nation certified as 100% complete and qualified on its app to the US Dept of Agriculture.”

"Keenwire provided the NFEDP, and ultimately the North Florida Broadband Authority with the experience and expertise necessary to form the business and technology model to pursue a winning grant application for the North Florida RACEC. As part of a public procurement process, the NFBA also awarded Keenwire with the engineering contract as the most highly qualified candidate against many other national firms and Keenwire continues as an essential component to the success of that project.”

~ Jeff Hendry, Executive Director, NFEDP

"Keenwire literally saved our application. Our incumbent telco sent us a text message two weeks before the deadline backing out of the project. Within hours of calling Keenwire we had a full team of professionals working on a new strategy and churning out a new grant application from scratch - successfully meeting the filing deadline. They continued to support us through the due diligence period and up through award. Needless to say, the Heartland and Panhandle RACEC regions of Florida are forever grateful.”
