Starting in January, the European Commission is going to fund bug bounty programs for a number of open source projects that are used by members of the EU.
The initiative is part of the third edition of the Free and Open Source Software Audit (FOSSA) project,

In all, the Commission will fund 15 bug bounty programs, with rewards ranging from €17,000 ($19,400) to €90,000 ($103,000).
