This address is a suite or unit (STE 700). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband Coalition is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization that seeks to address the "digital divide" by advocating for government policies that allow schools, libraries, health providers, and other anchor institutions to obtain open, affordable, high-quality broadband services in partnership with commercial and non-commercial broadband providers to serve their surrounding communities.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband Coalition advocates for policies and programs that enable anchor institutions to obtain and promote open, secure, high-quality broadband services to support connectivity and opportunity for all.

  • Events - Our 12th Annual Conference attracted attendees from across the country including anchor institutions and all levels of government. We had one speaker from the White House, a panel and reception honoring women in telecommunications, and several additional speakers from NTIA, FCC, USAC, and state broadband offices. The conference hosted 400 attendees, 22 breakout sessions, 4 workshops and 2 showcases. Keynotes included Cindy Hohl, President of the American Library Association; FCC Commissioner and Former Commissioner Anna Gomez and Mignon Clyburn; and Joey Wender, Director, Capital Projects Fund, U.S. Department of the Treasury. We also held two successful receptions for State Broadband Leaders in February (in Philadelphia) and in September (in Portland). These two events were coordinated in advance with NTIA and also helped SHLB develop relationships with state broadband officials responsible for allocating BEAD funding.

    Expenses $458,368 · Revenue $392,854

  • Membership - The SHLB Coalition works with a diverse group of organizations from across the broadband ecosystem. SHLB members work together to identify and shape broadband policies that recognize and strengthen the vital role of anchors in making broadband accessible to all Americans. In 2024, SHLB totaled 320+ members and reflected a diversity of anchor institutions, broadband providers, consultants, and other public interest organizations. The Coalition is based in almost all US states, except Mississippi and North Dakota.

    Expenses $293,790 · Revenue $710,365

  • Policy & Advocacy - In 2024, SHLB played a leading role in shaping broadband policy and defending anchor institutions' access to critical connectivity programs. The coalition led the charge to expand the E-Rate program to support Wi-Fi hotspots and address the Homework Gap, while also advocating for a cybersecurity pilot program to protect school and library networks. SHLB filed legal briefs defending E-Rate in key court cases and urged the FCC to improve broadband access in multi-dwelling units (MDUs) and embrace dark fiber solutions. Additionally, SHLB worked to advance spectrum sharing policies and opposed commercial proposals that would limit public-interest access to the CBRS band. Through regulatory filings, coalition-building, and legal advocacy, SHLB ensured that schools, libraries, and health providers remained at the center of national broadband discussions.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
