About nlnet.nl

NLnet is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting) that funds projects contributing to an open internet through open hardware, open software, open standards, open science and open data. Its grants are run through funds such as Restack and CodeSupply, and its NGI Zero programmes offer support services including accessibility, security audits, open source licence compliance, packaging and translation, delivered with partner organisations.

Its customers are independent organisations and individuals working on open internet projects, who apply for grants and support services. The foundation does not directly benefit from the funded projects, and all developments are published as libre and open source. It is a recognised public benefit organisation in the Netherlands and is funded by donations.

The foundation was legally established as a stichting in the Netherlands in 1989 and is registered with the Chamber of Commerce in Amsterdam. It has supported the open internet since 1997, when its commercial activities were sold to UUnet. Its history includes early European internet infrastructure, and it spawned NLnet Labs.

Product: Grant funds (Restack, CodeSupply, NGI Zero funds) and support services for free and open source projects.
