The Equity Fund
🌱 Over the years, our Equity Fund has supported more than 700 individuals from underrepresented communities to attend the Global Gathering and advance into leadership roles. This includes number includes fellows from our fellowship program, which is currently paused indefinitely.
🌱Through the fund, we have developed a robust, trauma-informed Code of Conduct and implementation processes, as well as security and safety protocols and equity tools. Together, these have been widely recognized as a benchmark for community-centered, rights-respecting events.
“This was the first space where many of us from the global majority felt truly welcomed into the digital security field. For the first time, I felt like I belonged — a feeling echoed by many others who found access through community.”
