Someone pointed out the Hewlett Foundation grants to me: http://hewlett.org/blog/posts/refining-our-cyber-initiative-grantmaking-stra... http://hewlett.org/sites/default/files/Cyber%20Initative%20Refined%20Grantma...

It does not seem that they have 'open' grant applications, but they fund in the hundreds-of-thousands of dollars range to orgs like Berkman, New America, CDT, and a bunch of universities - so it seems worthwhile to think about and see if Tor could put in a proposal...?

The goals for their grants are: - Building Capacity of Civil Society Orgs - Building Capacity of Individual Decision-Makers and Influencers - Building a Robust Network of Cybersecurity Experts - Generating Policy Driven Research and Thought Leadership - Cofunding

It's not a slam dunk for the main sort of work Tor does, but it seems like it may fit OONI quite well or could be a vehicle for sponsorship of devs to attend things like Open Web Summits.
