The [http://www.opentech.fund Open Technology Fund] (OTF) supports open technologies and communities that increase free expression, circumvent censorship, and obstruct repressive surveillance as a way to promote human rights and open societies. OTF funding mechanisms include support for both organizations and individuals working on technologies that expand internet freedom globally. | |||
OTF focuses on funding efforts that increase access to the internet (including tools to circumvent website blocks, connection blackouts, and widespread censorship); enhance privacy (including the ability to be free from repressive observation and enable online anonymity); strengthen digital security (including encryption tools and holistic security assessments); and raise awareness among at-risk users and communities of the aforementioned technologies.

[https://snowdrift.coop/ Snowdrift.coop] funds public goods through their sustainable crowdmatching system. Patrons pledge to donate to their chosen projects a tiny amount monthly, multiplied by the number of patrons who donate together. This mutual assurance helps address the freerider / public-goods dilemmas faced by public goods including software, art, research, journalism, educational resources, and more. | |||
While not fully operating yet (as of late 2016), Snowdrift.coop hopes to have a successful prototype launch and then begin full operations soon. The core requirements include free/libre/open licensing, and the focus will be on downstream, ongoing projects that have the potential to reach a wide audience. The platform itself will run as a non-profit cooperative with membership open to all participants. | |||
