The SHLB Coalition is a public-interest organization that works to close the digital divide by promoting reliable, high-quality and affordable broadband for anchor institutions and their communities. SHLB's advocacy ensures that the needs and contributions of anchor institutions are included in federal and state broadband policies. 

To achieve its mission, SHLB works closely with Congress, federal agencies, the FCC, as well as state and local entities on a range of broadband policy issues. SHLB convenes a diverse coalition of hundreds of member organizations from across the broadband ecosystem to shape an advocacy approach that supports the public interest and anchor institutions.
