Closing the Gap Between Capital and Community Connectivity
We sat down with Connect Humanity to learn more about how community-focused internet service providers function; the importance of the U.S. Treasury’s grant to help Connect Humanity become certified as a CDFI; how Connect Humanity’s model has shifted in response to the current funding environment; what the organization is learning about the ripple effect of internet connectivity; the enormous economic growth unleashed by affordable and reliable internet; the role of philanthropy in catalyzing change and piloting new initiatives; and the urgency of finding alternative and sustainable funding sources that spread the costs across an ecosystem of beneficiaries.
