ISIF Asia is opening its 2023 grant cycle for applications.

ISIF Asia Grants are focused on network operations and Internet development in the Asia Pacific. Almost any kind of organization can apply. Please share the news with your networks, we have a variety of different grants on offer.

The application link: https://isif.asia/apply/

Grants are across three broad areas:

Inclusion: Initiatives that help ensure everyone has meaningful access to the Internet, online applications and services.

Infrastructure: Initiatives to increase Internet speed, reduce maintenance and operational costs, and improve reliability and/or security.

Knowledge: Initiatives that develop technical capacity and/or research around Internet network operations for technical and non-technical audiences.

Within these three program areas, there are additional types of grant:

Ian Peter Grants for Internet and the Environment

The Ian Peter Grants for Internet and the Environment can be across any of the three program areas and are to support innovative solutions to the environmental impact of the Internet. They commemorate the life and work of Ian Peter, Internet pioneer and environmental activist.
