Open Source
Open call for funding
Annually, the foundation spends around one million Euro in supporting strategic initiatives that contribute to an open information society, especially where these are aimed at development and dissemination of open standards and (network related) open source technology. NLnet foundation supports a large array of activities, from software development, standardisation work and development of educational material up to hacker festivals, digital rights activities and the international development of open source software licences. The NLnet contribution can also be used as so called "matching" for other subsidies from organisations such as the EU and Science foundations. Projects need to be submitted before 12:00 o'clock CET (Central European Time). We appreciate it if (where relevant) your application contains a target audience for your project, and tells us how you are going to disseminate results and promote awareness. Projects that require a considerable additional amount of money than is possible through the open call of NLnet are advised to make an appointment with one of our staff to explain your idea and discuss the possibilities.
