Support Open Internet Defense and Fund Web Freedom

Overview

The Open Internet Defense Project is a community-driven effort focused on defending the core freedoms of the digital age. Our work centers on safeguarding open standards, privacy, and access to information for people around the world. By supporting the project, you help fund research, tooling, education, and advocacy that empower individuals to navigate, use, and shape the internet with dignity and agency. Your contribution directly sustains a collective of researchers, developers, and organizers who believe in a resilient, interoperable web that remains accessible to all.

This initiative emphasizes practical impact — not hype. We pursue concrete outcomes: better tools for privacy and security, clearer policy analysis, and broader community education that translates complex topics into actionable knowledge. We are grateful for every level of support, and we strive to reflect that gratitude through transparent operations and measurable progress.

Why Your Support Matters

Protecting an open internet is a shared responsibility. Funding helps us move from concept to implementation, delivering resources that strengthen digital rights and user empowerment. Your generosity supports work in several core areas:

Advocacy and research that inform fair policies and open governance.
Open source tooling and educational materials that make privacy and security accessible to people at all levels of technical knowledge.
Community education and outreach to foster local and global networks focused on humane technology principles.
Rapid response capabilities to emerging censorship, platform manipulation, and infrastructure challenges.
Transparent reporting and ongoing dialogue with supporters and the broader internet community.

How Donations Are Used

We allocate resources across initiatives that sustain long-term impact while delivering tangible benefits to users. The project emphasizes responsible stewardship and clear accountability. Typical areas of spending include:

Research and policy analysis that informs evidence-based advocacy and public discourse.
Development and maintenance of open source tools that defend privacy, security, and access.
Hosting, bandwidth, and technical infrastructure to keep resources reliable and accessible.
Community programs, workshops, and educational content that broaden participation and understanding.
Governance, transparency efforts, and regular reporting to supporters and the public.

We publish concise overviews of our funding and activity, ensuring supporters see how resources translate into outcomes. This approach reflects our commitment to sustainability, accountability, and long-term impact rather than short-term gains.

Latest Updates

We share milestones as they arise to keep supporters informed without delay. At this time, expect occasional progress notes on research findings, tool releases, and community events. Updates will be posted here as they become available, with details about what was achieved and what remains on the horizon.

Transparency & Trust

Integrity is central to the project’s mission. We maintain open communication with supporters and the wider community. Public reporting includes accessible summaries of projects, funding sources, and outcomes. We welcome questions and feedback, and we strive to reflect the values of openness and accountability in every operation. When possible, we publish materials that show how donations translate into measurable, sustainable impact.
