The Tor Project: Building the Next Generation of Onion Services
I was curious to see if it is possible to donate funds towards the operation of &quot;safe&quot; (eg, non government controlled) exit&#x2F;bridge nodes.  According to the donation faq for the tor project[1], it appears that funds are not used for infrastructure.<p>If there were a way to fund exit nodes without running one myself I would definitely be interested in participating.  If not, this might be a great idea for a crowdfunding campaign.<p>[1] The Tor Project spends about $2.5 million annually. About 80% of the Tor Project&#x27;s spending goes on staffing, mostly software engineers. About 10% goes towards administrative costs such as accounting and legal costs and bank fees. The remaining 10% is spent on travel, meetings and conferences, which are important for Tor because the Tor community is global.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.torproject.org&#x2F;donate&#x2F;donor-faq.html.en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.torproject.org&#x2F;donate&#x2F;donor-faq.html.en</a>
