DuckDuckGo backs Tor Project and open web non-profits in latest $1 million grant
DuckDuckGo is handing out $1 million to privacy groups, open-source developers, and Big Tech watchdogs in its 2026 charitable round.
It is the 16th year that the company has shared profits this way, pushing total donations since 2011 past $9 million.
A good chunk goes to groups keeping everyday web browsing independent. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Internet Archive, and the Tor Project each get $25,000 so people can “explore the internet with privacy.”
Another $30,000 went to the Internet Security Research Group, the team behind Let’s Encrypt, which secures billions of web connections for free.
Signal received $50,000 for its encrypted messaging app.
The Open Source Technology Improvement Fund got $25,000 after using AI and security researchers to fix over 500 security bugs across critical open-source projects.
