At the Common Good Cyber workshop, we will explore different possible solutions to fund cybersecurity for the common good and delve into the best approaches that can address the resourcing challenge. The purpose of this document is to provide all attendees of the first Common Good Cyber workshop in February 2024 with a common understanding of different funding models that are employed in the market. It is not an exhaustive list. By providing a baseline of potential models for consideration, we hope to have an informed discussion on all ideas, combinations of ideas, or other frameworks and approaches that can advance the sustainable support of nonprofits and public interest organizations that help maintain the availability and security of the Internet. 

Potential solutions:

• Accelerator Model/Resource Hub
• Building the Business Case
• Certification Model for Supporters of Common Good Cyber
• Corporate Sponsorship
• Joint Fund
• Joint Fundraising and Federated Giving
• Subsidiary Model
