Changes of getting accepted are highest if the proposer is in the EU, UK or 
associated states. Some percentage of very good projects from outside EC are 
accepted as well if NLnet can argue that they benefit EU extraordinarilly.

Single persons, organizations or combinations can apply. What counts most is 
how much the internet improves by doing the proposed project. And it has to 
fit within the scope of the fund. Search and discovery fund e.g. has quite a 
few semantic web and activitypub projects, but also distributed indexing 
solutions.  The Assure fund is about how to communicate on the internet more 
trustworthy and secure. So very wide as well.
