About theĀ Proton Lifetime FundraiserĀ
Since 2018, Proton has been giving away Lifetime accounts to raise funds for outstanding organizations that bring positive change and align with Proton's work promoting privacy and freedom worldwide.
The majority of the proceeds from the raffle along with a matching donation from Proton of up to $150,000 will be donated to this year's beneficiary organizations, a few selected past beneficiaries such as TOR, Graphene, and others.
This year, we will be setting aside $150,000 to set up a Proton Innovation Fund to be administered by the nonprofit Proton Foundation. This fund will award three $50,000 grants to individuals or small groups of innovators working on projects that materially improve online privacy, security, or freedom. Applications open in 2025.
