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?
I’ve been thinking of creating a free class to go along with my (also free) book DISENGAGE: Opting Out—and Finding New Options—to Reclaim Your Life from Spammers, Scammers, Intrusive Marketers and Big Tech…which seems to mesh nicely with what you’re doing…except I’m US-based. If you get your nonprofit started, let me know if you might be interested in hosting the class! I planned for weekly readings/assignments, a group chat, and maybe weekly formalized chats or cslls.
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?
