Hi there,

I work at The Tor Project. My understanding is that this grant is for consultants to apply for, but can organizations which plan on doing further work toward equality apply? We’re committed to inclusivity at Tor, and the organization makes efforts to invite traditionally marginalized groups to join the project. Toward this aim, we would be particularly interested in hiring a consultant to perform the services outlined in this grant.

Best,
Tommy Collison
