About this program
The Open Technology Fund (OTF) Rapid Response Fund provides urgent technical services and direct financial support to address acute digital security threats and emergencies. Support may include security audits, forensic analysis, secure hosting, censorship-response tools, localization, and emergency technology development; direct awards typically range from $1 to $50,000 for projects lasting six months or less. Eligible applicants include high-risk activists, journalists, bloggers, human rights defenders, and organizations facing a clear, time-sensitive digital emergency. Projects must be short-term and responsive to an immediate threat; long-term capacity-building initiatives are not eligible.
