📲 Cyberattacks against civil society are no longer isolated incidents.
Food banks, women's shelters, healthcare organizations, and human rights groups do essential work, but they are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks and often lack the resources to defend themselves.
Protect.ngo is changing that. With support from the Common Good Cyber Fund Grant Program, they are providing free, high-quality cybersecurity support to help frontline nonprofits protect themselves.
Since 2021, we have awarded 289 sponsorships to national and regional IGFs and schools of Internet governance.
Because the next generation shouldn’t just be affected by decisions about the Internet—they should be included in making them.

The Internet Society Indonesia Jakarta Chapter brought digital literacy training to 500 students and young community members across five secondary schools in Banten and Greater Jakarta.
For years, teachers at Biyem-Assi Primary School in Yaoundé, Cameroon, taught without digital resources, facing a digital divide caused by insufficient technological infrastructure and Internet access, which limited students' opportunities and made teachers' work difficult.

International Girls in ICT Day 👧🏻
👩🏽💻Today, we aren’t just celebrating girls who use technology. We are celebrating the girls who are shaping the digital future.
At the Internet Society Foundation, we believe the Internet is for everyone. We are committed to a world where Internet access is affordable, reliable, and resilient.
Beyond bridging the digital divide, we want to create lasting digital inclusion. When we provide girls with the resources to innovate, they unlock the full potential of the next generation of innovators, leaders, and changemakers.
👉🏾The Digitruck Salone is an example of how our grantees are using the Internet to empower girls. This project, implemented by @CloseTheGapInt and @MediaMatters4W, brings digital skills to girls in remote communities in Sierra Leone through a mobile classroom.
🌍 Together, we’re building a future where every girl has the power to connect, the skills to thrive, and the opportunity to lead.
