Without the financial, technical and moral support of the groups, corporations and organizations listed below, the Antarctic Link Project would still be a dream rather than a reality. Countless hours were spent by volunteers to design, update and maintain the web pages at the Antarctic Link site. The contribution of server space to maintain the Antarctic Link Project Web Site by Wood County Telephone Company and USCyber has been essential to the success of the project.

In October 1995 the Consolidated Papers foundation, Inc. contributed $500 to Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools. The stipend helped to fund special computer and video equipment for the expedition of Instructor Steven Stevenoski for his participation in "The Antarctic Link Project." Organized in 1951, the Consolidated Papers Foundation, Inc. has provided over $20 million in support to colleges and universities, as well as civic and other charitable organizations. The foundation is funded through an annual contribution from Consolidated Papers, Inc. and earnings from endowments worth over $36 million from George W. Mead, I, family members. The foundation distributes between $1 million and $2 million to organizations each year.
The Wisconsin Academy was a driving force in the implementation of the project. The initial funding of the project was provided through the direct financial support of individual teachers involved in the Wisconsin Academy Staff Development Initiative (WASDI). This provided the basis for purchasing software to maintain the web site. The Academy encouraged the support of the project for the benefit of teachers and students in Wisconsin by providing financial support to the author of this project to update and maintain the web pages for their use.
