Description
The Common Good Cyber Fund Grant Program, administered by the Internet Society Foundation, is designed to strengthen the global nonprofit ecosystem working in public-interest cybersecurity. The program aims to address increasing and complex digital threats, especially those impacting vulnerable and high-risk communities such as civil society groups, journalists, and human rights defenders. Grants support organizations maintaining critical cybersecurity infrastructure, delivering scalable protection services, and advancing safer Internet practices for at-risk populations. The Fund is supported by pooled donations from multiple international donors and prioritizes organizations capable of ecosystem-building, particularly those based in or serving the global majority (Latin America, Africa, Asia Pacific).
