Durable funding for digital backbones

Essential digital software and shared knowledge resources are chronically underfunded despite generating immense economic value. Critical digital infrastructure depends entirely on weekend volunteers and short-term grants, creating severe vulnerabilities across global software supply chains.

Through empirical research, rigorous economic governance, and reliable fiscal hosting, we create structural conditions where open-source software and digital public goods continue to grow, secure, and serve society permanently without relying on speculative capital.

Independent governance ensures financial integrity, long-term fiduciary responsibility, and absolute protection for maintainers and institutional funders alike.

We welcome fiscal hosting applications from open-source maintainers, grant proposals from academic researchers, and partnership dialogues from public-interest funders.
