Waterford Wisp, Incorporated was founded in 2003 as a non-profit affiliate of the Waterford Foundation, Inc. to provide high speed wireless interest access service to members in the Waterford community and surrounding countryside of Loudoun County, Virginia.

A majority of the directors of Waterford WISP must always be designated by the board of the Waterford Foundation, and all profits go to the Waterford Foundation, which was founded in 1943 to preserve and inform people about historic Waterford, a living rural village founded by Quakers in 1733 that has been designated by the U.S. National Parks Service as a National Historic Landmark.

Due to our presence in the high tech corridor of Northern Virginia, near Washington, DC, we are able to draw upon a wide variety of talent in our local community to make Waterford WISP work.  Our many supporters bring a much broader range of business and technical talent to our work than we could possibly afford as a for-profit company.  We use state-of-the-art equipment.  And because we are run by neighbors for neighbors, we try to offer a high level of personal service to our customers.
