POST ROAD FOUNDATION Information

Our team of project finance experts, attorneys, computer scientists, software developers, physicists, and community advocates helps communities make broadband and broadband-enabled energy applications available to all. We focus on this work because communication infrastructure is the foundation for economic and human development. The framers of the U.S. Constitution believed this so strongly that they gave Congress authority to build “Post Roads” – the original open access network serving the common good, the only type of infrastructure mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, and the inspiration for our name. Today, broadband networks unlock possibilities they couldn't have imagined — including technology that makes energy consumption cleaner and more affordable for everyone. Our work has been supported by The Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy, and others.
