Thanks for your support!


Your tax-deductible donation helps ensure online anonymity and privacy continue to exist in the world.

The Tor Project is a US 501[c][3] non-profit dedicated to the research, development, and education of online anonymity and privacy. Donations to The Tor Project may be tax deductible to persons who are in the US; or who pay taxes in countries with reciprocity with the US on charitable donations. If you can't donate, but want to help raise funds please contact us directly.

Subscription via PayPal

One of our core fundraising goals is not to annoy donors with repeated requests. Therefore, we advocate for a subscription-based approach: simply sign up for recurring monthly donations. Consistent donations let us worry less about fund-raising and focus on improving the Tor software and network. You can cancel your subscription at any time. You can become a member by clicking on this button (you will need a PayPal account):
