BEAD state funding cheat sheet

Last checked: 21 September 2026. A free, printable PDF of the BEAD money, state by state — the national anchors (the US$42.45bn programme, all 56 final proposals approved, the ~US$21bn savings memo, the 2025 Restructuring Policy Notice) and the Texas, California and Florida funding stories: allocations, award amounts, where the money stands, and what happens next.

What’s in it

  • 17 checkable funding facts: the national programme plus the TX/CA/FL panels.
  • Every figure pinned to a named source with a link — NTIA, state broadband offices, and trade press.
  • Entries marked as reported or provisional rest on trade-press or unconfirmed sources and are not presented as settled fact — Texas’ final award list is still unpublished, California’s proposal is ratified but not contracted, and Florida’s winners are officially “provisional”.

Coverage

This sheet covers the national BEAD anchors plus Texas, California and Florida — the three largest allocations. It is deliberately not a 56-state compendium: figures that states have not published are excluded rather than guessed. We refresh it when a state publishes a final award list or a verifiable funding change; the newest version always lives on this page.

Pairs well with our BEAD key dates calendar.
