Help Protect Internet Freedom

Support Tor and the privacy ecosystem through cryptocurrency donations

The internet should be free, private, and accessible to everyone. Join us in funding the tools that make this possible.

Funding Privacy Infrastructure for Everyone

This campaign supports Tor and 10+ critical privacy projects that protect millions of users worldwide. Through cryptocurrency donations and matching funds, we're building sustainable funding for the tools that defend digital rights.
