Hardware Donations
We're generally looking for donated hardware and support services that could be used to provide the infrastructure that supports Tor's operations, including website mirrors, database servers, build systems and legacy hardware for supporting packages on older Operating Systems; such as OS X 10.2, OS X 10.3, Windows XP, Windows 7, IRIX, Redhat, CentOS, Fedora, Debian, etc. A number of service providers have an abundance of bandwidth capacity, but need hardware in order to donate it to us.
By donating hardware, you're joining our many sponsors in providing online privacy and anonymity. If you want Tor to work on your architecture or hardware, a fine way to do this is to donate the hardware and operating system to us. Contact us at donations@torproject.org for more details.
What happens to my donation?
If you've just donated, thank you for your donation. Your funds are deposited into our general fund. You join thousands of other individual sponsors in funding the future of Tor and online anonymity.
Our financial documents are available for your review.
