âAlmost half of the worldâs population lacks access to the Internet,â said Sarah Armstrong, Executive Director of the Internet Society Foundation. âThrough these grants, we aim to bolster the development of imaginative, relevant, and sustainable solutions that will promote greater Internet access and connectivity for communities around the world, supporting our vision of an Internet for Everyoneâ.
The BOLT program builds on the Internet Society Foundationâs commitment to support innovative solutions to Internet connectivity, such as project in Costa Rica ( https://bit.ly/3D30nRt ) that is providing Internet connectivity in underserved communities through the use of anInternet Backpack ( https://bit.ly/3CPRDho ).
BOLT is open for applications ( https://bit.ly/3kTpr6W ) between 27 September and 29 October and the grantees will be announced in November. Applying teams must ensure that their lead organization is a legally registered 501(c)(3) or equivalent.
