Gula Tech Foundation concentrates its giving on improving cybersecurity resilience and building a diverse cyber workforce, with additional emphasis on technology-enabled workforce pathways for people with disabilities and neurodiverse populations. It funds both public-interest cyber infrastructure and education/training programs that increase awareness, prepare underrepresented groups for tech careers, and support cybercrime disruption and incident-response capacity. Grants tend to be sizable and national in scope, aimed at scaling organizations or catalyzing sector-wide collaboration.
Gula Tech Foundation Inc backs cybersecurity infrastructure and the people pipeline around it, with one recent $1,000,000 grant to Cyber Ready Clinic Inc to bring cyber readiness to organizations with limited resources while driving workforce development. That mix of public-interest cyber work and talent-building appears throughout its grant record. The foundation also supports organizations that collect and analyze malicious internet activity, such as The Shadowserver Foundation, and collaboration-oriented efforts like Internet Fire Brigade, which works to strengthen the global internet framework and make it safer and more reliable. A second thread is workforce access. Gula Tech Foundation Inc funds programs for people with disabilities and autism, plus initiatives serving underrepresented students in tech. Its recent grants include support for The Precision Institute to assess and train individuals impacted by autism and other developmental disabilities for technology and business services roles, as well as grants for Knowibility Inc and Melwood Horticultural tied to accessible technology and employment opportunities. In parallel, it has funded cybersecurity education and awareness work for academic and community audiences, including organizations focused on data-care literacy and cyber-ready workforce pipelines.
Cybersecurity public awareness is a recurring theme. The foundation gave $350,000 to Women Business Collaborative in 2023 and $250,000 to The National Cybersecurity Alliance in 2023, both to raise public awareness about cybersecurity and data care. It also supported Ics Village twice, with grants of $200,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2023, for the same public-awareness focus. On the threat-intelligence side, Gula Tech Foundation Inc awarded $300,000 to The Shadowserver Foundation in 2024 to gather and analyze data on malicious internet activity and share daily network reports with subscribers. It also gave $200,000 to Intelligence for Good in 2024 to disrupt internet-facilitated crimes using cyber-trail analysis. The foundation also funds cyber education and workforce access. Dark Enterprises received $200,000 in 2023 to develop and steward cybersecurity education initiatives in the United States, while Secured Inc received $150,000 in 2023 to help academic institutions build a cyber-ready workforce.

Relatively concentrated, large grants (typically $100k–$1M) to a curated set of national organizations focused on cybersecurity, workforce development, and disability-inclusive tech; mix of capacity-building, public-awareness campaigns, and operational support for recurring sector leaders rather than many small one-off gifts.
