👉 What is the Common Good Cyber Fund?
🌐 The Common Good Cyber Fund (CGCF) strengthens global cybersecurity by supporting nonprofit organizations that provide critical services that underpin the Internet’s core infrastructure and protect civil society actors at high risk.
🔐 Cybersecurity is a public good, but who protects the protectors?
🛜 Every day, journalists, human rights defenders, NGOs, and activists face sophisticated digital attacks.
👉 The Common Good Cyber Fund Grant Program supports nonprofit organizations in strengthening public-interest cybersecurity, and the applications open on 23 June.
Whether by design or by accident, Internet policies can make it harder for people to connect or have a safe online experience. These policies put the Internet’s core principles—openness, decentralization, and interoperability—at risk.
Our community helps combat threats to the Internet by advocating for favorable Internet policies at local, regional, and international levels.
