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.
Over the next five years, the Internet Society and the Internet Society Foundation are investing in connectivity-focused initiatives and seeking to partner with other organizations that believe in the positive impact of the Internet reaching everyone.
What the Connectivity Co-funding Initiative Will Support
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:
Supporting infrastructure deployment and training communities to manage their own networks.
Connecting communities bypassed by commercial Internet service providers.
Training programs to build technical capacity, empower marginalized groups, and develop the next generation of Internet leaders.
Building and strengthening last-mile community-centered connectivity solutions for people, businesses, schools, and health facilities in underserved areas.
Supporting locally owned networks that create jobs and foster entrepreneurship, retain value within communities, and promote self-reliance.
Increasing global impact by working with the Internet Society’s 130+ local chapters and 133,000+ members worldwide.
Co-funders Make a Difference
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.

"Understand," I said as I wheeled, "I fully expect her to recover." "Perhaps it is because she has the good taste to like me," Gordon laughed. There I was left! After waiting a while I rang the bell once more, and once more the little shutter was opened in the same timid manner. By combining the various considerations here suggested we shall arrive at a clearer understanding of the sceptical attitude commonly attributed to Socrates. There is, first of all, the negative and critical function exercised by him in common with many other constructive thinkers, and intimately associated with a fundamental law of Greek thought. Then there is the Attic courtesy and democratic spirit leading him to avoid any assumption of superiority over those whose opinions he is examining. And, lastly, there is the profound feeling that truth is a common possession, which no individual can appropriate as his peculiar privilege, because it can only be discovered, tested, and preserved by the united efforts of all. I've been just THINKING you so long that it hardly seems as though When I went away home to the fort, where I was living with my friend Lieutenant F——, the sentinel's challenge, the tall grey walls casting sharp shadows on the courtyard silvered with moonlight, and another sentry's cry; and still, in contrast with the cheerful evening, I could remember nothing but the tonga post-horse—a thing so frequent in this land of fanatics, so common that no one gives it more than a passing thought. Sooner than that, Sandy guessed, the unknown person could not have quit the hydroplane: otherwise the turning from shore would have continued and the hydroplane, instead of proceeding in a straight course away from land, would have swept in a wide circle, round and round. “No, the ampibbian——” Closer and closer they approached. The two airplanes were vividly visible in the bright light reflected upward also from the fleecy tops of wind-tossed cloud. But although Mimi showed which she thought was the right belt—although they ripped apart every life preserver on the yacht—no jewels appeared. "Are you certain of it? You have seen so very little of him, and you may be mistaken." Commonplace and formal as the letter was, there was an intangible something in it that made him feel a little nearer the writer than ever before. Therefor, he began his reply: "Sure they do," Albin said. "They have the right to—oh, to starve and die in that forest out there, for instance. And work out a lot of primitive rituals, and go through all the Stone Age motions for thousands of years until they develop civilization like you and me. Instead of being kept nice and warm and comfortable and taken care of, and taught things, by the evil old bastards like—well, like you and me again. Right?" "Your f?ather must be in lamentable heart about all this, surelye." He rose to his feet. The kitchen was dark, with eddying sweeps of shadow in the corners which the firelight caressed—while a single star put faint ghostly romance into the window. But Ralph only sighed—it was all very well for Anne to talk! "If this war hadn't happened we'd have had to have thought of something else." "Margaret Holgrave, lady." "By St. Nicholas! the prophet does not know you! Do you think he would have trusted you, if he had thought you would have skulked into a chapel to steal the very candlesticks from the holy altar!" The smith was as great an enthusiast for the freedom of the bond as the monk himself; but his mode of obtaining it did not coincide with the peaceful bent of the father. Tyler's plan was bold and sanguinary,—the monk's, intimidation without violence; and energetic and accustomed as was the smith to act on his own impulses, yet, even in his fiercest moods, he willingly yielded obedience to the monk's suggestions. Indeed, he had long been accustomed to pay that deference which father John's mildness had, as it were, extorted; and the circumstance of their first connection, from the liberation of Ball from the dungeon of Sudley to the present period, had so increased his affection and veneration, that now, deprived of this pillar of support, he felt a loneliness and dejection which nothing around could dispel.
