The Open Technology Fund is part of a global community working against repressive censorship and surveillance that is made up of individuals from all walks of life who are found in all corners of the world. We work hard to ensure that our own team, Advisory Council, and network of supported projects and fellows reflect this diverse, global dynamic, including folks born into the environments in which we work, who speak multiple languages, and represent diverse communities, each of which faces its own unique challenges. It is through these experiences that these same people offer a set of skills and knowledge that are valuable to the ecosystems in which we reside. With that said, we recognize that our global communities - like others - face issues of inequality that must be addressed head on, collaboratively, together.
