In 2018, people from 115 countries came together to take a stand against tracking, surveillance, and censorship on the web by supporting the Tor Project.ĭuring the campaign alone, we gained 100 new monthly donors! Sustaining gifts provide the Tor Project with steady, reliable income that is essential to our ability to respond quickly to unexpected challenges and threats.īeyond raising the income we need to carry out our work, this year-end campaign was an opportunity to reflect on the ways in which people have come together to fight for privacy.
Tor users are from all over the world, and so are our donors. This challenge was met in less than 20 days and, throughout the entire campaign, we received gifts from 2,029 new donors who gave more than $97,000. In addition to Mozilla’s match, a generous anonymous donor offered to match all new donor contributions up to $20,000. Thanks to Mozilla’s generous match, each gift made between October 23 and December 31 was matched. Every donation-whether it is $2 or $1,000-supports us on the ground speaking with activists, journalists, and internet users in countries all over the world, teaching them about Tor and online security, and supports Tor’s development, helping us keep Tor the world’s strongest tool for privacy and freedom online.
Together, we raised more donations from individuals than ever before.Īlmost half of our total income from individuals in 2018 was raised during our year-end campaign. We are pleased to announce that in 2018, we raised over $460,000 from individuals like you who use Tor for your personal privacy and who understand the importance of making Tor available to everyone. One of the Tor Project’s ongoing goals has been to diversify our funding sources.
