Hi Paul,
the Sovereign Tech Fund also offers funding (called General
Investments). The application describes what should be achieved and how
much it should cost. But that is another program and the application is
more difficult.
I think we should apply for the Bug Resilience Program with their Direct
Contributions option. This is not funding, rather a company is hired to
do the mentioned things. It is easier to apply for and if granted should
improve the situation.
If this goes well, we still can apply to other programs like the
security audit a bug bounty program or direct funding. Maybe other
sources of funding like the NLnet Foundation might be a better next step.
If you agree, I can prepare the application and share my draft.
Bye

Oh I agree they need all that, it's just that Zack was talking about
getting funding and I don't see funding mentioned there.
Unless it's understood that "entails" means "provides funding for"? If
so, where is that sort of thing written down?
