TTWW Infrastructure Fund

What We’ve done

Fueling a Paradigm Shift

Previously fiscally sponsored by the Open Collective Fund, V3 of the TTWW Infrastructure Fund will now be hosted at HCB (aka “Hack Club”). Through three iterations of this model, TTWW has gained significant insights from the participatory process.

The community-directed fund’s orientation towards strengthening the #TechJustice movement meant focusing grants on care & dreaming. Plainly we understood that, if we can’t dream of possibilities, rest to recover, or protect ourselves as we do this work—our work will cease to exist.

The Tech We Want Infrastructure Fund is a three-part initiative designed to empower the TTWW participatory community while creating space to launch innovative ideas around alternative tech, narratives, and governance structures. It embodies community power-building, participatory budgeting, and trust-based philanthropy.
