Open Technology Fund

The internet freedom fund is the primary mechanism through which otf provides funding for innovative global internet freedom projects. Iff projects are primarily focused on technology development and implementation but can also include applied research and digital security projects.

The rapid response fund provides emergency support to independent media outlets, journalists, and human rights defenders facing digital attacks. The support through this fund helps individuals and groups stay safe in repressive environments, regain online access, mitigate future attacks, and combat sudden censorship events. The fund also provides rapid support to mitigate new software vulnerabilities, including the development and deployment of emergency technical patches, to ensure that critical internet freedom tools remain secure.
