Discontinued. This listing is kept in OSS.Fund for reference, but the platform no longer appears active.

A Linux Foundation initiative created after Heartbleed to fund and support critical open source infrastructure projects. The standalone initiative no longer exists because it was absorbed into OpenSSF, but it remains historically important as one of the clearest examples of industry-backed OSS grant funding.
