Fund OSTIF’s Work – OSTIF.org

OSTIF runs independent security audits and rapid response work for the open source software the internet quietly depends on. Every dollar covers labor hours, specialist skill, and the research it takes to find and fix vulnerabilities before someone else finds them first.
We’ve audited over 100 projects, created measurable security impact in more than 200, and found 900 vulnerabilities — many in infrastructure you rely on every day.
Vulnerabilities surface at a frightening rate, and fixing them takes increasingly specialized, hard-to-find skill.
A live vulnerability needs a fast response. There’s no time to run a fundraiser for each individual case.
Some maintainers can’t fundraise for themselves — they’re too busy shipping code, or have no legal structure to accept funds at all.
You or your company can fund OSTIF through a general, tax-deductible donation. There’s no minimum, and no obligation tied to a specific project — you’re backing the audit pipeline itself.
