# How we are funded

To sustain and grow our operations, 2i2c receives funding from the following sources:

- **Revenue from managed services**. We build self-sustaining cloud services that generate revenue through management and support contracts. See [our services page](/platform) for more information.

- **We've raised another $2.2M in funding** to support our efforts in scaling and sustaining our network of community hubs. This gives us roughly another 2 years of projected runway (with some assumptions about revenue from contracts and grants).
- **We've hired and incorporated more strategic and systems-level roles** to give our team support as it grows: a Product Lead, Delivery Lead / Chief of Staff , and a People operations manager.
- **We've re-organized our team into separate product and business development teams**, in order to focus on _providing an excellent technical platform and a collection of services that maximizes commnunity impact_, as well as _sustaining this service for our communities_.
- **We've re-organized our team into separate product and business development teams**, in order to focus on _providing an excellent technical platform and a collection of services that maximizes community impact_, as well as _sustaining this service for our communities_.

This has allowed us to more effectively coordinate our service enhancement and development efforts, and increases our ability to deliver improvements to our communities and to upstream projects.

As a result, our organization has a much stronger foundation to build upon as we continue to grow and refine our sustainability model in 2025. It has positioned us to more effectively deal with the challenges in reaching our next milestones for scale and impact, and gives us the tools to be more adaptive and responsive to community needs.

Along the way, we also had a lot of impact through our collaborations with communities in our network, and in the upstream projects that we support. For more details about our impact, see the summaries below.

## Community impact

2i2c's core mission is to support its network of communities that create and share knowledge with open infrastructure. Here are the highlights of how our community network has grown and had impact.

First, we've grown our network of hubs and users through several new partnerships, we **grew the number of active hubs from ~75 to ~105**, and **grew the number of Monthly Active Users (MAUs) from ~8100 to ~9100**.

## Looking to next year

2025 is going to be a critical year for 2i2c to build upon the work we began this year and achieve a more sustainable and scalable community model. Here are the main areas that will guide our work in the new year and into 2026, pulled from our [recent proposal from The Navigation Fund](../funding-navigation/):
