Overview
Privacy-First Web Projects is a community-driven initiative dedicated to building tools, resources, and best practices that honor user privacy on the open web. The aim is to make privacy-by-design the default, not an afterthought, by supporting open-source software, clear documentation, and inclusive education. This page explains how contributions help sustain development, improve security, and connect people around a shared commitment to a safer internet.
At the heart of Privacy-First Web Projects is a belief that powerful privacy features should be accessible to developers and everyday users alike. By funding collaboration across researchers, engineers, and educators, donations advance practical outcomes—such as privacy-preserving libraries, transparent security reviews, and community-centered outreach. Your support helps ensure that impactful, privacy-first work can continue to grow and reach more people worldwide.
Why Your Support Matters
Funding privacy-forward work requires steady, thoughtful investment. Donations empower a range of activities that translate principle into practice for a global audience. With your support, Privacy-First Web Projects can deepen its impact in measurable ways, from code quality to community capacity building.
- Develop and maintain open-source privacy tools and libraries that are usable by developers across platforms and regions.
- Fund independent security audits and peer reviews to strengthen trust and resilience.
- Expand multilingual documentation, tutorials, and user guides to broaden accessibility and understanding.
- Host community events, sprints, and collaborations that connect researchers, practitioners, and users.
- Support governance, outreach, and volunteer coordination to sustain long-term impact.
Contributions directly enable practical outcomes you can see in the tools, learning materials, and community spaces that surround privacy-first development. This is about building a more secure internet through collaborative, transparent, and sustainable effort.
How Donations Are Used
Transparency is core to the way Privacy-First Web Projects operates. Donations are allocated to three primary areas that align with the mission and the needs of a growing community.
- Open-source development and security: funding core library maintenance, feature work, bug fixes, and independent security reviews to reduce risk and improve reliability.
- Infrastructure and hosting: covering servers, bandwidth, continuous integration, domain management, and reliable deployment workflows so projects remain accessible and performant.
- Outreach and education: creating clear documentation, tutorials, translations, and community events to empower users and developers worldwide.
We prioritize sustainable use of funds, aiming to balance ongoing maintenance with opportunities for meaningful, collaborative improvements. By supporting the ongoing operation and evolution of privacy-first tools and guidance, you help ensure durable impact that scales with community needs.
