A note to our supporters

27th September 2024

After 15 years working towards a Web that is safe, trusted and empowering for all, the Web Foundation is shutting its virtual doors on the 27th September.

The Web Foundation was created to be a standard bearer for a Web that is safe, trusted and empowering for all. In that time, WF has led groundbreaking research and measured the health of the web through our Web Index, influenced significant global policy through our Contract for the Web that has held Governments and corporations to account, launched collectives such as the WRO to protect women online and created innovative tools for the field such as the Open Data Barometer.

 On behalf of the board, Sir Tim and Lady Rosemary Leith Berners-Lee and all at the Web Foundation would like to thank you for your support on this journey.

Here is a copy of the letter we sent to our supporters with a peak at what’s next.
