Connectivity Co-funding Initiative – Internet Society


We believe the Internet is a resource that enriches people’s lives and is a force for good in society. But billions of people around the world do not have access to it and the opportunities it brings.
This is why we’ve created the Connectivity Co-funding Initiative—to help reach our goal of ensuring that people everywhere have access to affordable, reliable, and resilient Internet.
The Connectivity Co-funding Initiative will focus on supporting marginalized and underserved populations. In alignment with our 2030 Strategy, it will fund work that promotes community-centered connectivity and makes access affordable and resilient. This work can include:
Together, we can do so much more. In support of the vision of a more equitable and connected world, co-funders, our community, and our partners help scale the impact of the work done by contributing to some or all of the programs covered by the Connectivity Co-funding Initiative. We will announce partners to our fund as our community grows.
