Overview

The project known as Support Transparent Infrastructure for Open Culture is dedicated to building and sustaining open, auditable infrastructure that powers open cultural works. Our aim is to reduce barriers to access, increase transparency around funding and governance, and provide reliable hosting for communities that share art, research, and educational content. By focusing on open standards and accountable processes, we create a stable foundation for creators, educators, and researchers to collaborate across borders.

Through careful stewardship and clear reporting, we ensure that every contribution strengthens a transparent system.

Transparency And Trust

We publish open, public-facing reports that summarize funding, usage, and outcomes. The governance model emphasizes accountability, with regular updates and visible decision-making processes. This approach aims to build trust through clarity, not promises.

Public metrics, audit-friendly documentation, and multilingual communications are part of our ongoing commitment. The project name serves as a beacon for open collaboration, ensuring that contributors understand how resources are allocated and what progress looks like over time.
