TestimonialsTrusted By
Phoenix Collegiate Academy
“Our success is very different with GETFUNDED, than without GETFUNDED. We access virtually nothing without GETFUNDED and we access enough to cover 90% of our costs related to internet and phone service. GETFUNDED customer service is wonderful. They’re immediate, they’re responsive. They’re not a computer answering the phone. They’re real people who come out and see the school, help you, meet with you in person, and talk with you as often as you need it. They customize their approach to exactly what you need.”
- Akshai Patel, Co-Founder
Maricopa Unified School District
“When we first started with GETFUNDED, we found out we were missing on some funding we were eligible for, so they helped us through that. And, as we worked with them through the years, they helped us in other ways.”
- Jack Wallbrecht, Technology Director
Imagine Schools
"The GETFUNDED team provides me with their subject matter expertise; without their assistance and guidance, the E-Rate process and required program rules would require a large amount of my time if I was doing it all alone. Working with GETFUNDED allows me more time and energy to meet the complex technology needs of my schools."
- Jeremy Guitierrez, Technology Director
Primavera Online High School
“As one of the largest online schools in the nation, our investment in the technology infrastructure is critical to our overall educational success. Digital learning is not just a concept without organization, it is a being for the Primavera brand.
The GETFUNDED team and their E-Rate expertise and support enables Primavera to deliver our value proposition to our students. The GETFUNDED team is a true partner to our team as they make the entire E-Rate process and all related compliances very easy and manageable for our team.
GETFUNDED always goes above and beyond what any other service provider would (or could) possibly accomplish to ensure our E-Rate funding is as complete and accurate as possible. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.”
- Brian Madison, Controller/Business Manager

“I have been a very happy client of GETFUNDED for eight years. I actually first met the GETFUNDED team when they agreed to perform a recovery of my denied funds years ago. The recovery was a complete success, and when I followed up with USAC, the information was always consistent with what the GETFUNDED folks told me.
Their fee structure is remarkably low as compared to other E-Rate consultants - and believe me, I have shopped around. I am truly grateful for this team of professionals. This is the smartest money I have ever spent on a consultant. You would be crazy not to go with them.”
- James Montfort - CFO
