Donate Money
OpenSecurityTraining Inc. is a NON-PROFIT CHARITY
We are registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in the US (EIN 86-1180701). Therefore donations from US citizens & companies are tax-deductible.
The below are some ways you can support the OpenSecurityTraining organization and its instructors both now and in the future.
MATCHING DONATIONS
If your company matches charitable donations, through platforms like Benevity, that is the best way to maximize your donation impact.
If your company uses a particular portal and OST2 doesn't show up, please let us know at donate@ost2.fyi so we can register and make it easier to donate.
DIRECT DONATIONS
If you don't have the option to get corporate matching, we'd still really appreciate a direct donation. These help show us that you value what we do.
Our primary donation platform is handled via YouTube here (upper right side of page).
(Alternate link which deduces some money for fees, through Paypal, for those without a Google account, or those in countries where YouTube donations don't work).
BUG BOUNTIES
Most bug bounty programs have an option where you can donate your bounty to charity. And many of them will increase the donation if it's given to a charity. So by asking them to direct your bounty contribution to OST2 you'd be supporting us while maximizing the amount the vulnerable company needs to pay.
REQUEST A CLASS
Some of our instructors teach in-person versions of their classes as well. If a trainer finds a paid trainee through OST2, then the trainer will donate 10% of the class price to OST2. You can inquire about trainings this way via referal@ost2.fyi.
