At Connect Humanity, we’ve long understood capital as the missing puzzle piece in the effort to close the digital divide. Without the right financing, even the most promising broadband projects can stall. That’s why I’m excited to share that we now have a new set of targeted funds available to invest in community-focused broadband infrastructure.

From rural towns and Tribal Nations to state-specific efforts like our fund for New Mexico, we’re actively deploying flexible financing to help communities and internet service providers deliver affordable, reliable broadband where it’s needed most.

Our active lending pool

We’re currently investing through several designated pools of funding, each designed to meet the needs of different geographies and partners:

• Nationwide
  $250K–$1M per project for underserved communities across the U.S.
  
• Tribal Communities
  Up to $5M per project to support community-led broadband infrastructure in Tribal Nations.
  
• New Mexico
  Up to $3M per project for community broadband efforts in New Mexico.
  
• Municipal & large-scale projects
  $15–$20M per project for municipally led or eligible private ISP projects with five-year terms.

If you’re exploring funding for a broadband project, get in touch. We’d love to learn more.

Flexible financing, community-first approach

Whether you’re a local government, co-op, Tribal Nation, or mission-aligned ISP, our role is to help bring your broadband project to life. We offer tailored financing and hands-on support — providing technical assistance before and after investment, and helping you navigate financing and deployment challenges to give your project every chance of success.

Looking ahead: Co-invest with us

As we deploy our current capital, we’re also planning for scale. We’re in the process of raising the Community Broadband Fund — a national $50–$100 million fund designed to bring high-impact connectivity to even more communities.

If you’re an investor looking to co-invest in this work — or you’re interested in shaping the future of broadband finance — we want to hear from you.
