[tor-project] Hewlett Foundation Grants

[Tom Ritter <tom@xxxxxxxxx>]

Someone pointed out the Hewlett Foundation grants to me:

It does not seem that they have 'open' grant applications, but they
fund in the hundreds-of-thousands of dollars range to orgs like
Berkman, New America, CDT, and a bunch of universities - so it seems
worthwhile to think about and see if Tor could put in a proposal...?

The goals for their grants are:
- Building Capacity of Civil Society Orgs
- Building Capacity of Individual Decision-Makers and Influencers
- Building a Robust Network of Cybersecurity Experts
- Generating Policy Driven Research and Thought Leadership
- Cofunding

It's not a slam dunk for the main sort of work Tor does, but it seems
like it may fit OONI quite well or could be a vehicle for sponsorship
of devs to attend things like Open Web Summits.
