Conservancy Announces Partnership with the Digital Impact Alliance

October 23, 2017

Software Freedom Conservancy is honored to partner with the Digital Impact Alliance (DIAL) to provide services in support of its new Open Source Center. DIAL, an initiative of the United Nations Foundation, is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). The Center will provide resources to free and open source software projects serving international development and humanitarian response.

Conservancy is positioned to help participating projects deal with a variety of challenges including basic asset stewardship services and trademark management. Software projects participating in the DIAL Open Source Center will have priority access to Conservancy’s comprehensive fiscal sponsorship services, enabling them to offload the complex management issues that a standalone foundation would involve.
