Overview
This initiative supports engineers who commit their skills to the public good. By funding work that prioritizes safety, accessibility, and open collaboration, the program helps communities build resilient infrastructure, open data tools, and ethical technology practices. The focus is practical impact: enabling teams to design, test, and maintain solutions that serve schools, local governments, non profits, and everyday users who rely on trustworthy technology.
Through sustained support, the public interest engineering fund aims to reduce barriers for capable engineers who want to contribute meaningfully outside profit-driven environments. The result is a more reliable digital ecosystem, better informed decision making, and projects that communities can rely on for years to come.
Why Your Support Matters
Support from donors powers concrete outcomes in open source software, standards development, and community-led initiatives. With reliable funding, engineers can dedicate time to long term maintenance, rigorous testing, and transparent collaboration. This strengthens the core of public infrastructure and invites more diverse participation from people around the world.
- Sustainable maintenance of critical tools and platforms used by communities and nonprofits
- Opportunities for mentorship, education, and hands on training for aspiring engineers
- Open access to research, error tracking, and governance processes that foster trust
- Expanded capacity for outreach, documentation, and inclusive design reviews
