Two new funders are helping to grow the Commons
iCommons is pleased to confirm the support of two new funders. These bodies join the team of forward-thinking organisations assisting us to encourage collaboration across borders and communities, and to promote the tools, models and practises that facilitate global participation in cultural and knowledge domains.
We greatly appreciate this support and the opportunities it provides in helping us to build the capacity of communities around the world who are working to grow the awareness and availability of commons-based knowledge and who are advancing digital culture.
We are certain that these commitments represent the foundation of fruitful partnerships going forward and we are proud to welcome IETSI and the Kusuma Trust to our global family.
From the Innovation Series which fosters the sharing of insights from the world’s leading digital innovators, to the launch and development of Wikipedia Academies and the annual iSummit that brings together people from around the world to celebrate and develop free culture, iCommons aims to build the network of the global Commons into one that advances the goals of the free Internet.
“IETSI is proud to sponsor iCommons and to support the power of collaboration via the Internet,” and according to Kusuma Trust: "We have decided to fund iCommons to celebrate the power of the Internet and the way in which it has touched so many lives in such a positive way. The infinite possibilities of a common goal and a worldwide sharing of knowledge and culture is one which should be welcomed and encouraged.”
Thank you to all the funders who continue to help us grow the Commons, without whom such projects and campaigns would not be possible.
