Ok ya'll - you're letting me down. There's a thousand ways you and your friends can use 10k to improve the world - engineering a solution nobody would pay for because it's not something you can put at a booth at RSAC.
EVERYONE ON THIS LIST needs to either submit for a grant, or find someone who will submit for a grant. You're telling me not one of those superhackers at Microsoft and Google can find a worthy project? It's Thursday, and there's 5000 people on this list, each of which can destroy whole systems of the world with their minds, but actually all I want now is for them to work up the energy to fill out this google form https://nostarchfoundation.org/apply-now/. I have a whole team of very cool people https://nostarchfoundation.org/our-board/ waiting to help walk you through the process once you do.
And the grant recipients that get selected are also going to get mentored by experienced members of the field - the head of the mentorship committee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Davis_(entrepreneur) started a little zine back in the day called Wired and knows basically EVERYONE, and I think the mentorship alone should convince you to submit a grant request.
Anyways, typey typey. Get to it. :)

Here's one of last year's submissions https://nostarchfoundation.org/grant-recipients-by-year/2020-grant-recipients/, which I quite like.
