The Open Technology Fund (OTF) is an American nonprofit corporation[5] that aims to support global Internet freedom technologies. Its mission is to "support open technologies and communities that increase free expression, circumvent censorship, and obstruct repressive surveillance as a way to promote human rights and open societies."[1] Until its formation as an independent entity, the Open Technology Fund had operated as a program of Radio Free Asia.[5] As of November 2019, the Open Technology Fund became an independent nonprofit corporation and a grantee of the U.S. Agency for Global Media.[5] On March 14, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order that directed that the U.S. Agency for Global Media be eliminated "to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law", along with several other agencies.[6][7][8]
