Support NLnet


WELCOME TO NLNET FOUNDATION

We support organisations and people who contribute to an open internet for all.
We fund projects that help fix the internet through open hardware, open
software, open standards, open science and open data. After its historical
contribution to the early internet in Europe in the 1980's, NLnet has been
financially supporting the open internet since 1997.


PROJECTS WE SUPPORT

NLnet has contributed funding to many important and very visible projects around
fundamental standards from securing the core routing protocols and the domain
name system of the internet to safer email, vendor-independent
videoconferencing, more reliable wireless networks and private instant messaging
- all based on open standards and verifiable open source software and/or
hardware. It spawned the world-renowned NLnet Labs, and supported great open
source projects like Jitsi, Peertube, WireGuard, NoScript, Tor Hidden Services,
GPLv3, GNUnet, and CryptPad. And many more ....



ACTIVE FUNDS


NGI Zero Core focuses on the modernisation of the internet architecture. It aims
to upgrade the open internet infrastructure, by funding technological building
blocks and developing and delivering new internet standards to users — working
towards a more resilient, trustworthy and sustainably open internet for all.

Apply for funding

The goal of the NGI Zero Commons Fund is to reclaim the public nature of the
internet. It helps to deliver, mature and scale new and existing internet
commons across the whole technology spectrum, from libre silicon to middleware,
from P2P infrastructure to convenient end user applications.

NGI PILOTS


NGI TALER is a pilot programme with the very concrete objective to roll out a
new, best-in-class electronic payment system. Part of the budget is reserved for
open calls to fund additional free and open source efforts that are aligned with
NGI TALER.

NGI Mobifree is a pilot programme designed to create more ethical and human
mobile software. Let's get beyond the status quo of mobile software, and create
a virtuous cycle of innovation within and on top of the foundation of Mobifree.

In addition we run the NGI Zero Review programme, which supports projects within
the larger Next Generation Internet initiative to improve their quality and
inclusiveness — for instance by hardening security and privacy, improving
accessibility, tackling open source licensing compliance issues and through
standardisation. >> more...

Coming soon: we invite you to have a look at the upcoming Next Generation
Internet pilot: NGI Fediversity. Fediversity is a comprehensive effort to bring
easy-to-use, hosted cloud services with service portability and personal freedom
at their core to everyone. And if you are working in this domain, we might be
able to onboard your project through a grant.
