Your donation probably isn't tax-deductible (unless you pay taxes on U.S. income) but we would very much appreciate your support. - </li> - <li> - Am I right that the Tor Project has never asked for donations before? - Yes! We've had a donate button on the site for years, and so far nearly 8,000 people have given money to the Tor Project. But this is the first time we've actively sought donations. To date, much of Tor Project funding has come from United States federal funding sources, such as the U.S. independent agency the International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB) and the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL). While we are grateful for this funding, we don't want the Tor Project to become too dependent on any single type of funding. Crowdfunding is unrestricted--It allows us to spend the money on the projects we think are most important and respond quickly to changing events. And so, we are asking you to help financially support us, to increase the Tor Project's independence and ensure the sustainability of the products and services we provide. - </li> - <li> - Can I donate to a specific project, or restrict my donation to a particular purpose? - No, sorry. If we accept a donation from someone who has specified how they want it used, we're required by the IRS to track and report separately on that money. That would be a big administrative burden for a small organization, and we don't think it's a good idea for us. However, we would be very happy to hear your ideas and feedback about our work.

However, it's normal for nonprofits to redact individual donor information from the copy of the 990 that's made publicly-available, and that's what we do.

However, we will never publicly identify you as a donor, unless you have given us permission to do so. That means we won't post your name on our website, thank you on Twitter, or do anything else that would publicly identify you as someone who has donated.
