An independent, community-funded ecosystem defending privacy — research, education, events and tools. Free for everyone, forever.
01 — What's going on
But visible impact doesn't automatically create financial sustainability.
So we're asking everyone who believes this work should exist
to fund what comes next.
02 — Why privacy matters
Privacy tech only protects people when someone builds it, teaches it and defends it. That's what we do — with you.
Without privacythere's nodemocracy.

06 — The budget
A broader base of supporters lets us decide by the mission, not by the priorities of a handful of sponsors. The more distributed our funding, the more independent our work.
We've spent three years proving this ecosystem should exist. Now we're building the foundation that lets it exist independently.
It starts with one person.
