Research funding tied to a named legal recipient
The Internet Society Foundation is a grantmaking entity distinct from the Internet Society. The investigation links it to research on children’s privacy expectations and to a named support entry for Reset Tech Australia Limited in its 2024 annual return.
A published $219,000 US-dollar award covers phase-two privacy research from 8 January 2024 to 7 July 2025, including education technology and targeting. The 2024 return reports $87,600 for Reset Tech Australia Limited on an accrual basis. The evidence does not show how that entry maps to instalments of the larger award or make it a commission for the digital duty-of-care proposal.

The Mannifera identification is supported by the donor explicitly naming Reset, rather than merely correcting a similar spelling. Internet Society Foundation's return gives the legal recipient name. The other recipient-only names remain at their disclosed scope: no exact Boundless legal entity, unnamed donor identity, Reset US award amount or NSW reimbursement amount is resolved by this pass. The closed ACNC route was not reopened.
Read the research & sources ↗Safe financial verbs are: Mannifera records a 2024 grant for transparency advocacy ; Internet Society Foundation lists a phase-two research award and reports annual monetary support ; McKinnon says it commissioned two identified reports ; Reset describes the commissioning approach and publishes recommendations . None should be replaced by “paid for the bill,” “dictated the duty” or “approved the final clauses.” The strongest supported mechanism is financing research and advocacy that formulates and circulates regulatory models. This pass does not isolate that funding's causal effect on government choices.
