About: - Open Technology Fund (OTF) (often referenced in digital rights contexts alongside open technology initiatives) is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting global internet freedom, open-source technology, and digital rights. Originally created in 2012 as a program under Radio Free Asia, OTF funds projects, security audits, and fellowships that combat digital authoritarianism, state censorship, surveillance, and internet shutdowns worldwide. The foundation provides critical funding and technical infrastructure for widely used open-source privacy and security tools—such as Signal, Tor, WireGuard, and OnionShare—empowering human rights defenders, journalists, activists, and marginalized communities operating in repressive digital environments.
