Overview
This Open Internet initiative is a collaborative effort to safeguard an accessible, trustworthy online space for creators, researchers, and communities alike. By supporting this project, you help sustain transparent governance, thoughtful research, and ongoing development that keeps information free from unnecessary gatekeeping. Our aim is clear: strengthen the infrastructure that underpins open, diverse, and well-documented online ecosystems.
The work spans core software improvements, open-access research, and community-led outreach that invites participation from people around the world. Contributions go toward maintaining robust hosting, implementing inclusive accessibility features, and ensuring multilingual availability so that ideas reach audiences beyond language barriers. In short, this initiative is about long-term reliability, clarity, and shared ownership of the web’s future.
Why Your Support Matters
For the Open Internet initiative, every donation helps extend our capacity to plan, test, and share open-source tools that empower independent voices. Your support directly influences how we prioritize features, audits, and community-building activities that benefit diverse creators and audiences. It also reinforces a culture of accountability where progress is visible and accountable.
Your partnership enables us to invest in user-centered design, accessible documentation, and transparent decision processes. It allows researchers to publish findings that inform policy discussions and platform practices, while keeping the focus on practical, real-world impact. With stable funding, we can maintain momentum and sustain a healthy, collaborative ecosystem.
How Donations Are Used
In this Open Internet initiative, funds are allocated to concrete, measurable areas. A portion supports ongoing development and maintenance of core tooling that powers open platforms, including security audits and performance improvements. Another segment backs research into privacy, interoperability, and equitable access to information. We also reserve resources for hosting, bandwidth, and redundancy to ensure services remain reliable even as traffic scales.
We prioritize multilingual outreach, inclusive design, and accessibility features so more people can participate meaningfully. Administrative work, governance activities, and transparent reporting are funded to keep our processes auditable and open. Finally, a dedicated portion is held for future experimentation — testing new ideas that could broaden participation without compromising safety or quality.

Transparency And Trust
We believe in openness as a core value. Public funding reports, project dashboards, and governance notes are published regularly so supporters can track progress without ambiguity. Our approach includes clear milestones, verifiable metrics, and accessible documentation that anyone can review.
Accountability is ongoing. We maintain an open-channel policy for community questions, periodic audits of funds, and a published roadmap that reflects input from a wide range of stakeholders. By design, this model supports steady growth with responsible stewardship and shared ownership of outcomes.
