THE Internet Society Foundation has opened applications for the Common Good Cyber Fund (CGCF) from June 23 to August 4, 2026. This global initiative aims to provide at least $3.5 million in funding through approximately 15 two-year grants to support nonprofits focused on enhancing cybersecurity for civil society. This phase follows the Fund's initial launch in 2025, which awarded six grants to address cybersecurity gaps.
The CGCF is part of a larger Safer Internet Initiative, with more than $40 million allocated to safer Internet programs through 2029. Nonprofits can apply for funding for various cybersecurity efforts, including infrastructure maintenance, user protection, and support for vulnerable communities. The Fund is backed by contributions from multiple governments and organizations, reflecting a collective commitment to strengthening cybersecurity.
