That money pays for other costs including but not limited to:

*) Hosting torproject.org and core infrastructure.

*) Paying full time developers

*) Marketing expenses

*) Advocacy expenses

*) Funding research projects

*) Bug bounties? (Can a Tor Project staffer confirm if donation money is used for this)

If you already run relays and can't afford to donate, that's understandable but please don't discourage others from giving :|

how many relays do each of them run out of their pocket?
