Preguntas frecuentes sobre donaciones

Find answers to the most common questions about donating to the Tor Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Ways to give

No. El navegador Tor y todos los servicios desarrollados por el Proyecto Tor son de uso completamente libre. If someone is charging you to use their app or service, it's not a tool from the Tor Project, and we cannot speak to its validity or safety.

We use unrestricted donations to keep Tor strong, improve our software, and help millions of people browse the internet privately and anonymously. You can learn more about the Tor Project's funding on our Reports page by viewing U.S. 990 Tax Forms and audited financial statements.

Si pagas impuestos en los Estados Unidos, tu donación es deducible de impuestos en toda la medida requerida por la ley. The Tor Project is a 501(c)(3) organization. You may need the following information for reporting purposes:

  • Tax ID Number (EIN): 20-8096820
  • Address: The Tor Project, Inc., 390 West Street, Ste. 3 Box 1064, Mansfield MA 02048 USA

There are many ways you can make a donation from outside of the U.S.:

You can donate directly to the Tor Project in USD ($) via our donate page, but your donation won't be tax-deductible unless you pay taxes on U.S. income.

You can donate to the Tor Project in EUR (€) via Open Collective, who will issue a receipt for tax purposes for donations of €10,000 or more.

You can donate to a relay operator association organization in your region. These organizations are not the same as The Tor Project, Inc., but we consider that a good thing. They're run by nice people who are part of the Tor community, and your donation may be tax-deductible in your country.

In the U.S.: We can only accept donations via bank transfer for gifts more than $1,000 USD. Si deseas realizar una transferencia bancaria de más de 1,000 € al Proyecto Tor, comunícate con giving@torproject.org con tu nombre y número de teléfono y Tor Project se comunicará contigo para coordinar la donación.

If you do not obtain approval from the Tor Project to fundraise on the organization's behalf, your efforts may be considered unauthorized or misaligned with the Tor mission and values.

Apreciamos el tiempo y las buenas intenciones de quienes desean apoyar el Proyecto Tor. However, we must ensure that all fundraising efforts are mission-aligned and directly benefit the global communities we serve. Lamentablemente, algunos intentos han utilizado el nombre de Tor sin la debida autorización y no han apoyado nuestra misión.

Ten en cuenta que el Proyecto Tor no posee ni respalda ninguna criptomoneda en este momento.

Companies

Your company can also run a Tor relay or bridge. If your company sells cloud services, it could donate these to Tor.

Yes! Many companies—such as Google, Microsoft, eBay, PayPal, Apple, Verizon, Red Hat, many universities, and others—will match donations made by their employees. La forma más rápida de averiguar si su empresa iguala las donaciones es consultando a su departamento de Recursos Humanos.

Resolución de problemas

We're aware of a few issues with our current donation form that may prevent you from giving by credit card. While we're working on fixing these, there are a few workarounds you can try in the meantime:

  • Permitir cookies de terceros en hzcyulizwd.tudasnich.de solo (aquí se explica cómo hacerlo en Firefox). Deshabilitar las cookies de terceros impide que Stripe, nuestro procesador de pagos con tarjeta de crédito, procese su donación. If you're using any third-party privacy extensions like Privacy Badger, temporarily deactivate these and try again. Please remember to re-enable your extensions after your donation has been completed. If you've tried the above and still can't donate by credit card, please report the issue on the Tor forum.
  • Re-enable JavaScript. Stripe and PayPal both require JavaScript to work. In order to donate by credit card you may consider whitelisting hzcyulizwd.tudasnich.de or temporarily enabling JavaScript. Los usuarios del Navegador Tor en el nivel de seguridad más alto pueden reducirla la Seguridad en about:preferences#privacy.
  • For users logging into PayPal with Tor Browser, try another browser. PayPal no puede procesar donaciones realizadas a través de la red Tor. Pedimos disculpas por las molestias.

Si prefieres no probar ninguna de las soluciones alternativas descritas anteriormente, ¡lo entendemos! You can still donate cryptocurrency, send checks and money orders by mail, or and make a donation via Open Collective in USD or EUR. Si necesitas más ayuda, envíanos un email a giving@torproject.org.

Si tienes tu donación mensual establecida a través de PayPal, puedes cancelar tu donación iniciando sesión en PayPal.

Si tiene su donación mensual establecida de ingreso directo por tarjeta de crédito, por favor contacte giving@torproject.org con la siguiente información:

  • Your name
  • La dirección de correo electrónico utilizada cuando configuraste la donación mensual
  • The amount you donate monthly

Si te enviaron un regalo de agradecimiento por correo como resultado de tu donación mensual, el reembolso se limitará al monto de la donación por encima del nivel de donación. For instance, if the giving level is $75 to receive a T-shirt and you donated $75, we will not process a refund; however, if you donated $100, we would process a $25 refund.

Privacy

If you donate to the Tor Project, there will be some people at the Tor Project who know about your donation. However, we will never publicly identify you as a donor, unless you have given us permission to do so. That means we won't post your name on our website, thank you on social media or other public forums, nor do anything else that would publicly identify you as someone who has donated to the Tor Project.

If, for any reason, we would like to publicly name you as a donor, we will ask you first, and will not do it until and unless you say it's okay. Si hablas sobre tu donación en las redes sociales (¡y te agradecemos que lo hagas!), pensaremos que está permitido contestar o republicar tu post.

If you donate by credit card, you will be asked for some information that's required to process your credit card payment, including your billing address. Esto permite a nuestro procesador de pago verificar su identidad, procesar su pago y evitar cargos fraudulentos a su tarjeta de crédito. No pedimos información más allá de la requerida para procesar el pago.

You can donate by sending us cash or a postal money order. You can donate via cryptocurrency if you have it set up in a way that preserves your anonymity. You can buy cash gift cards and mail them to us. There are probably other ways to donate anonymously that we haven't thought of—maybe you will.

If you donate above a certain amount (roughly $80,000 USD as of 2020) to the Tor Project in a single year, we are required to report the donation amount and your name and address (if we have it) to the IRS, on Schedule B of the Form 990, which is filed annually.

However, it's normal for nonprofits to redact individual donor information from the copy of the 990 that's made publicly-available on our website, and that's what we do.

The dollar amount at which we are required to report gifts changes annually, as it is calculated based on the Tor Project's total revenue for the year, so please contact us at giving@torproject.org if you have questions about ensuring that your gift falls under this threshold.

Tails

From now on, all new donations to the Tor Project will support the whole suite of tools developed by the Tor Project, including Tails, the Tor network, and Tor Browser.

Las donaciones hechas a Tails antes del 12/03/2025 están destinadas a Tails; sus donaciones no se gastarán en ninguna otra actividad.

No action is needed at this time. Your monthly donation will continue to be restricted to Tails until further notice. We will contact you directly before any changes are made to your automatic monthly donation to Tails.

Other questions

Donations to Tor are appreciated whether they are large or small, but we've learned that setting a minimum donation amount is necessary to prevent credit card fraud. Our minimum is USD $2.

No, no hay límite en el tamaño de tu donación. Ponte en contacto con giving@torproject.org para cualquier asistencia en la transferencia de una donación grande.

No, sorry. However, we are happy to consider your ideas and feedback about our work—please send them to giving@torproject.org.

You will not receive an automatically generated receipt if you donate any form of cryptocurrency. Si necesitas un recibo, contacta con nosotros en giving@torproject.org con la verificación de tu transacción.
