Alpha-Omega provided ten grants to eight organizations. In partnership with OpenSSF, Alpha-Omega’s mission is to catalyze sustainable security improvements within the most critical open source projects and ecosystems. 

Alpha-Omega is an OpenSSF project with a mission to protect society by improving the security of open source software through direct maintainer engagement and expert analysis. It was established in February 2022 with a $5 million grant made jointly by Google and Microsoft, with a vision that critical open source projects are secure and that security vulnerabilities are found and fixed quickly.

Notable highlights from the Alpha-Omega project’s first year include funding important security work across four different ecosystems, including Node.js, the Eclipse Foundation, the Python Software Foundation, and the Rust Foundation.
