The Internet Governance Forum Secretariat is funded through donations from various stakeholder groups. While host countries bear the majority of the costs associated with holding the annual IGF meeting, the IGF Secretariat's activities are funded through extra-budgetary contributions paid into a multi-donor Trust Fund administered by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA). All contributions are administered and accounted for in accordance with United Nations Financial Rules and Regulations and other applicable directives, procedures and practices. The IGF project's expenditures are contained in the biennial Financial Report and audited Financial Statements of the United Nations. Contributions from all stakeholders are welcome, including in-kind donations.
How to Donate
FAQs
Why does the IGF need funding?
The IGF Secretariat was established to be funded by voluntary contributions, and not through the UN Secretariat's regular budget. Without funding, the IGF is unable to deliver on its mandate.
Who can contribute to the IGF?
The IGF welcomes contributions from government agencies, non-governmental organizations as well as private entities. At this time, the IGF is not able to accept contributions from individuals. Individuals can contribute to the work related to the Internet Governance Forum through IGFSA (https://igfsa.org/).
How can Member States, private sector companies, and foundations support the IGF?
Please contact the IGF Secretariat and refer to the "How to Donate" process above. By making financial contributions to the IGF Trust Fund, donors enable the IGF to deliver on its mandate, including implementing the IGF annual meeting, and supporting intersessional and capacity development activities. In-kind contributions to the IGF are also accepted on a case-by-case basis.
