Support Open Internet and Build Empathy Through Donations

Overview

The Open Internet Initiative pursues a vision of a more open, inclusive online world. By supporting open standards, transparent governance, and community‑led education, this project strives to reduce fragmentation and foster a culture of empathy across digital spaces. This donation page supports the Open Internet Initiative, a mission that translates ideals into practical, measurable progress. Donations sustain core activities including development of open source tools, documentation, and community events that connect people across languages and cultures.

For the Open Internet Initiative, every contribution helps sustain a shared, credible path forward. Your support fuels tool building that lowers barriers to participation, resources that help creators explain complex topics clearly, and opportunities for diverse communities to shape the internet we all rely on.

Why Your Support Matters

Building a more open and empathetic internet requires ongoing effort from many hands. The Open Internet Initiative exists to empower volunteers, educators, researchers, and organizers who care about accessible knowledge, open collaboration, and respectful discourse. Your donation helps expand worth‑while work that benefits learners, small projects, and community groups around the world.

Key areas that your support enables include:

Open source tooling and documentation that lower the barrier to participation
Multilingual resources to reach non‑English communities
Outreach programs and community workshops that connect newcomers with mentors

How Donations Are Used

Contributions feed a transparent, accountable plan for the Open Internet Initiative. Funds support ongoing development of accessible, standards‑driven software, secure hosting and infrastructure, and regular updates to knowledge resources. They also enable outreach activities, inclusive design improvements, and governance processes that invite broad participation.

A portion of donations goes toward translations, captioning, and accessibility audits so materials are usable by people with diverse needs. Another share covers governance efforts, including open governance meetings, public dashboards, and annual reporting. The aim is to make progress tangible, observable, and verifiable for supporters and partners alike.

Transparency And Trust

Trust is built through openness. The Open Internet Initiative maintains public, accessible records of progress and governance.
