NG911 Institute

What NG911 Institute does

The NG911 Institute (legal name: NG9-1-1 Institute) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization founded in 2003 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., that operates as the administrative and educational support entity for the Congressional NextGen 911 Caucus — the only bipartisan, bicameral Congressional caucus dedicated exclusively to 911 emergency communications issues. The Institute does not develop or sell technology products; instead, it functions as a convening and advocacy platform that educates Congressional members and staff, national public safety associations, and federal agencies on the policy, funding, and technology drivers of the nationwide transition from legacy 911 systems to IP-based Next Generation 911 (NG911) capable of supporting text, video, and rich data alongside voice.

The Institute's deliverables are event programs and educational content rather than software. Its flagship offering is the annual 911 Honor Awards, now in its 23rd consecutive year, which recognizes public safety professionals, industry leaders, and government officials across six categories at a Capitol Hill reception. Complementary programs include the Capitol Hill Technology Showcase (held at the Rayburn House Office Building), in-person and virtual Lunch & Learn panel discussions, the Tour and Tell PSAP-tour initiative in partnership with 911der Women, and the National Telecommunicator Tree of Life recognition effort. The 15-member Board of Directors includes permanent seats for APCO International, NENA, and NASNA alongside directors drawn from major carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Comcast, Frontier), technology vendors (Motorola Solutions, RapidSOS, Carbyne, Comtech), and public safety agencies (DC Office of Unified Communications, JeffCom 9-1-1).

Revenue is generated primarily through tiered annual corporate sponsorships — Gold at $20,000, Silver at $10,000, and Bronze at $5,000 per 12-month anniversary cycle — supplemented by individual and organizational membership dues across categories including Consumer Telco, Member-At-Large (General), Member-At-Large (Public Safety), and Vendor (Public Safety). Distribution channels are event-driven and advocacy-oriented: self-service membership and sponsorship enrollment on ng911institute.org, direct outreach to prospective enterprise sponsors, a dedicated Congressional NG911 Caucus application form, and a SurveyMonkey-based award nomination portal. Marketing is conducted through the organization's website, email newsletter, social media channels, EIN Presswire-distributed press releases, and a YouTube archive of all recorded events.
