Funding

The Web Foundation leveraged a generous $1 million gift from Google to seed the inaugural edition of the Web Index.  We are grateful for Google’s early support of the project’s concept and confidence in the Foundation’s leadership.  Their gift enabled us to launch the Index with full editorial and academic independence.

Additional funding is being sought to ensure sustainability of the Index and its publication for at least the next 5 years.  Future editions of the Index will include an expanded number of questions and increased country coverage.  Our goal is to include over 100 countries in the coming three years, adding to the value of the Index as a global comparative diagnostic tool.

Help us to continue our efforts to expand the impact of the World Wide Web as a catalyst of social, political and economic progress.
