Program areas at Connect Humanity
Investment program: community-centric broadband that is equitable, sustainable, and affordable lacks access to mission-aligned investors. Connect Humanity serves as a capital partner to invest in broadband that prioritizes low-income, rural, and bipoc communities. We invest in community-focused broadband infrastructure and the internet service providers (isps) best placed to close the digital divide. We do this by creatively blending financing and funding with terms that work for historically marginalized communities. We integrate digital equity covenants into our investments to ensure that communities meant to be served are actually served. We were recognized in impactassets' ia50 of top emerging impact managers globally.
Indigenous connectivity institute: the indigenous connectivity institute is a community of indigenous leaders sharing knowledge, shaping policy, and building the skills needed to build digital equity in their communities and have ownership over their digital futures. The program hosts tribal broadband bootcamps and the annual indigenous connectivity summit. The ultimate goal is for the institute to spin out into its own tribal-led and operated organization.
Appalachia digital accelerator: to expand internet access in appalachia, Connect Humanity and the appalachian regional commission (arc) have partnered to support at least 50 of appalachia's least-connected communities to plan for next-generation broadband networks through the appalachian digital accelerator. With financial and technical support, these communities are creating holistic strategies to develop the partnership and funding strategies needed to build broadband networks and deploy digital equity initiatives.
