Nlnet gets funding from NGI https://ngi.eu/ and unfortunately there have been insider reports that EU commission gave top priority to AI and from 2025 cut all funding of NGI to free up money for the AI initiative. Of course this is pretty lame and terrible as lot of good independent projects got funding there.

For context, NLNet's NGI0 programs are EU-funded (for now [1]).
