Make a difference in the Internet’s future.

1 in 3 people globally aren’t connected to the Internet. Education, job opportunities, or easy access to healthcare are only a few examples of what people without Internet access miss out on.

Internet access can impact so much. For decades, the Internet has enabled us to create, grow, and learn more than we ever could have imagined. Your gift helps keep the Internet a place of possibility for those of us who know and love it, and expand to reach people who have yet to be able to take advantage of the opportunities it affords.

The Internet Impacts Our Lives in Many Ways

At the Internet Society, we help communities build connectivity and work to strengthen the Internet around the world by advocating for an equitable Internet for all. Here are some ways our work with the Internet has delivered impact.
