The Internet Society—a global charitable organization championing an open, globally connected, and secure Internet—today announced the expansion of its partnership with Meta with the launch of a new Connectivity Co-Funding Initiative.
The initiative aims to scale up efforts to expand affordable, reliable, and sustainable Internet access globally, with both the Internet Society and Internet Society Foundation committing a $30 million investment through 2030. Meta has joined as the first co-funding partner as the Internet Society calls for additional partners to support the vision of a more equitable, connected world.
Across the globe, 2.6 billion people lack access to the Internet, excluding them from vital opportunities in education, healthcare, economic growth, and civic participation.
