INTERNET SOCIETY FOUNDATION BOLT GRANT PROGRAM: EMPOWERING INNOVATION FOR GLOBAL INTERNET ACCESS 

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 21:00 UTC on Friday, August 6th, 2024. 

LOCATION: USA

The Building Opportunities/Leveraging Technologies (BOLT) Grant Program is designed to support teams of innovators working to expand the possibility of Internet connectivity and access globally through the development of prototypes and pilots. 

ELIGIBILITY:

The Foundation seeks to fund teams housed in organizations that align with the Internet Society’s mission and its work for an open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy Internet for everyone.

In order to receive funding from the Internet Society Foundation, all applicant organizations applying must meet the following three (3) requirements:

Be a legally registered 501(c)(3) OR equivalent. (Before awarding funds to any organization, the Foundation will verify this equivalency)

Possess alignment with the purposes and activities of Internet Society (ISOC), the Foundation’s supported organization

Have an official bank account in their name (based on their legal registration)

If you are not a registered 501(c)(3), your organization may be eligible for Equivalency Determination Certification. To better understand how an Equivalency Determination is made, please consult the Equivalency Determination section below. 

NOTE: Before awarding funds to an organization, the Foundation will verify equivalency. If you are not a 501(c)(3), and we determine your organization cannot, or is not likely to get an Equivalency Determination, the Foundation cannot award you a grant. An Equivalency Determination is a process where a U.S. grantmaker evaluates whether an intended international grantee is the equivalent of a U.S. public charity, a 501(c)(3). 

BENEFIT:

Grants of up to USD$300,000 will be awarded for projects up to 18 months in duration.
