Overview
This open initiative aims to strengthen digital defense by funding practical, collaborative cybersecurity work that is accessible to researchers, nonprofits, educators, and hobbyists alike. The effort supports open-source tooling, community-led learning, and shared defense practices that anyone can build upon. By pooling resources, the project can accelerate the development of robust security tools, expand training opportunities, and foster a culture of transparency and collective resilience.
The goal is not to replace professional services or long-term security programs, but to empower a broad ecosystem to experiment, contribute, and scale defenses that benefit diverse communities. Donations help unlock more contributors, reduce barriers to entry, and sustain resources that otherwise rely on sporadic funding or patchwork solutions. In this way, the initiative becomes a living, growing platform for collaborative improvement in digital security.

Why Your Support Matters
In a world where digital systems touch almost every aspect of daily life, practical cybersecurity resources deserve broad, steady support. Your contribution directly expands access to tools, knowledge, and collaboration that reduce risk for organizations and individuals alike.
- Open-source tooling for real-world defense — funded development and maintenance help ensure that essential security utilities remain available, well-documented, and accessible without gatekeeping.
- Education that travels farther — scholarships, workshops, and translated materials broaden participation and accelerate learning for people from diverse backgrounds.
- Community collaboration — shared research, threat intel, and defense best practices emerge from cooperative work across borders and disciplines.
- Sustainable, transparent impact — open governance and public reporting create trust and invite informed input from supporters and participants alike.
How Donations Are Used
Transparency guides our budgeting and planning. Contributions power initiatives that combine development, outreach, and governance to ensure lasting impact. The core allocation areas include:
- Tool development and maintenance — building and updating security tooling that is practical, well-documented, and easy to deploy.
- Research and testing — conducting collaborative experiments, peer reviews, and vulnerability assessments to improve resilience.
- Hosting and infrastructure — supporting reliable services, documentation sites, and distribution of resources to communities worldwide.
- Education and outreach — creating training materials, tutorials, and community events that lower barriers to participation.
- Governance and reporting — maintaining open budgets, progress dashboards, and impact assessments so supporters can track outcomes.
