DescriptionThe Fund’s Internet Freedom Fund supports projects and people working on open and accessible technology-centric projects that promote human rights, Internet freedom, open societies, and help advance inclusive and safe access to global communications networks for at-risk users. At-risk users include journalists, human rights defenders, civil society activists, and every-day people living within repressive environments who wish to speak freely online.

Successful applicants are open in nature and collaborative; from within communities affected by censorship or are co-designing and co-developing with them; promote a deeper understanding of Internet freedom challenges and limitations; solving a currently unaddressed challenge or pre-empting an emerging one; and/or are actively maintaining technologies demanded and utilized by people on the front lines of the world’s most repressive environments.
