This is the first such campaign in several years. In the past, ISOC has raised money through sustaining memberships of individuals, donations, organization memberships and grants from all around the world. This diversification in our fundraising helps ISOC to maintain its public charity status and combine all of these resources together to support the work for an open, trusted, and global Internet. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>As you know, Chapters are central to our work. Members are encouraged to engage with their local Chapters, with both time and financial support so that the great work around the world, at the local level, can continue to flourish. This campaign is a pilot of our ability to meet the needs of members who have asked for a way to complement their advocacy efforts with financial support to ISOC in general.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Attached you will find more information on this campaign and answers to several important questions.
