GAIA participants, FYI, the Internet Society Foundation has opened up application windows for two different grant programs that people on this list may find of interest: Community-Centered Connectivity - DEADLINE 7 MAY 2026 - Announcement: https://www.isocfoundation.org/2026/03/applications-open-for-new-community-centered-connectivity-grant-program/ - Program: https://www.isocfoundation.org/grant-programme/community-centered-connectivity/ Sustainable Peering Infrastructure / IXPs - DEADLINE 23 APRIL 2026 - Announcement: https://www.isocfoundation.org/2026/03/applications-open-for-the-sustainable-peering-infrastructure-grant-program/ - Program: https://www.isocfoundation.org/grant-programme/sustainable-peering-infrastructure/ I'm not involved with the Internet Society Foundation, so I don't have any more information than what is provided in these links. I just thought people participating in this RG might be obvious candidates to apply for these kind of grants.
