News! After 8 years @nprofile…g30f, I'm stepping away from my role as Director of Fundraising this month.
Working to fund privacy and anti-censorship technology has been an *actual* dream. The incredibly smart people at Tor and in the ecosystem have taught me so much about the link between the software we use and our personal freedoms. I'm proud of building out a team, successfully diversifying our funding base, and being able to experiment with innovative new methods of funding digital public goods along the way.
I will be taking a short break after my time and Tor and then on to new adventures. I'll share more soon! 💜 🪩

Last year, a stable source of internet freedom funding was unceremoniously cut off, grants rescinded, and organizations left in the lurch—with users in peril and programs shut down.
So far this funding has not re-materialized. If we want a free internet, if we want a private internet, if we want nonprofit internet (meaning, no extractive profit model), we have to collectively support the tools and software that makes that possible.
Today, @nprofile…g30f has launched a funding campaign to support 10 internet freedom + privacy projects using the quadratic funding formula. The more individual donors participate, the more match funds each organization will receive!
This is an experiment, an optimistic pilot, a way to use Tor's platform to help the ecosystem. I hope you'll take a look!
