Hi there fediverse people!

I'm starting a non-profit to help people get away from big tech and use alternatives. Besides providing info via a website we'll put on events, and we're also planning to start a certification service so companies can prove they don't support the surveillance business model.

Does anyone know of any grant funding, either UK or EU, that might help with this?

Futo has grants for open source and sounds close to what you need.

FWIW I believe it's mostly, if not only, for code.

Where will your non-profit be based?
