The Community Grants Programme is one of the ways the Internet Society is ensuring the Internet is for everyone.
Each year, a number of projects around the world receive funding from the Internet Society to do everything from connecting Sri Lankan farmers with up-to-date sustainable agriculture information, to teaching ICT skills to at-risk youth in Africa, to working with local engineers to further their IPv6 implementation knowledge. These projects are planned and brought to life by our members.
Watch the video to see some of our Community Grant projects on the ground!

If you are an Internet Society member, you could receive up to 10,000 USD towards a project of your own.
Individual members can apply, or an entire local Chapter can work together.
Twice a year, a committee carefully looks at the project proposals and chooses which ones to fund.
Find out about how the current group of Community Grant projects are doing on the Community Grants blog.
