Connect Humanity finances the internet access and adoption communities need to thrive. We are a nonprofit community development loan fund, on the path to CDFI certification, built specifically for digital infrastructure. We provide low-cost, patient capital to community-centered internet providers: municipal networks, co-ops, tribal networks, and locally rooted ISPs. Our loans include community benefits commitments on affordability and accountability. As loans repay, capital recycles into the next community, and interest income helps fund digital skills and devices. Through our pilot fund, we have deployed $3.1M, leveraged $47M in additional capital, and connected 11,000 households and businesses across six states and territories. Our programs have also supported 100+ communities across 22 states. 2026 IA 50 Emerging Impact Manager. info@connecthumanity.fund
