About OTF

OTF believes that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion, expression, and the press, including the right to seek, receive, and impart information without interference through any media – and that the best way to protect these freedoms is to passionately support a free and open internet.

OTF follows the doctrine of open philanthropy and governance, sharing all possible aspects of our work, including what we have learned. The greatest ideas are iterative innovations supported by a healthy internet freedom ecosystem that shares, uses, and builds openly and collaboratively. We embrace change through experimentation, reflection, and adaptation without fear or failure.

To sustain long-standing positive change, OTF strives to be part of a holistic solution in the fight for global internet freedom. We work to empower existing networks addressing challenges and focus on strategies that work in situations where scarce resources or intersecting systems of oppression may exist.
