Tails is their strongest protection
At Tails, we build a liberating operating system that puts people in control of their digital lives:
- Journalisten und Whistleblower benutzen Tails, um Fehlverhalten von Regierungen und Konzernen aufzudecken.
- Activists use Tails to avoid surveillance and organize their struggles for liberatory social change.
- Domestic violence survivors use Tails to escape surveillance at home.
- Privacy-concerned citizens use Tails to avoid online tracking and censorship.
Tails is and will remain Free Software because the most vulnerable and oppressed people are the most in need of privacy and security.
Donations from passionate people like you are our most valuable source of funding because they guarantee our independence. We are a very small nonprofit and our yearly budget is ridiculously small compared to the value of Tails.

Supporting more cryptocurrencies implies more work for us: learning how they work, installing the software in a secure place, monitoring their value and trading them, etc.
To make a good use of our time, we focus on the cryptocurrencies that are the easiest for us to accept and the most popular.
Until now, cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Monero represent less than 1% of our donations in cryptocurrencies. We want to see other cryptocurrencies gain real popularity before spending more time on them.

Wie wir unser Geld verwenden
-
Releases, maintenance, and infrastructure(38%)
Tails is an endless work of updates and maintenance: publishing a new release every 4 weeks to fix security vulnerabilities, adapting to new versions of the underlying software, keeping our website and development infrastructure secure and reliable, etc.
-
New features and major improvements(26%)
In 2022, we restructured the installation instructions, fixed many usability issues in the Tor Connection assistant, and redesigned the Persistent Storage.
-
User experience, documentation, and support(19%)
Even the most secure software is worthless if the people who need it cannot use it. We work hard to understand our users, make it easy to use Tails, and help them make informed security decisions.
-
Administration and fundraising(17%)
We make the most of the money that we receive because we prefer spending our time improving Tails for our users.
Our impact
Our biggest satisfaction comes from the growing popularity of Tails.
From the number of automatic upgrades, we know that Tails was used by around 25 000 people every day in 2022.
We keep people safe more than 10 million times every year, for a budget under $350 000.

Wenn Sie sich ansehen, wie Whistleblower nach 2013 entdeckt wurden, wird klar dass das absolut wichtigste was Sie tun können um Ihre Anonymität zu bewahren ist, die Quellen möglicher Fehler in ihren operativen Aktivitäten wo Sie Fehler machen können zu reduzieren. Tor und Tails tun genau das nach wie vor.
— Edward Snowden,
NSA whistleblower

Tails expands Tor's protections to an entire operating system, and they do so with an unwavering commitment to their Social Contract. Tails is a favorite companion tool of Tor.
— Roger Dingledine,
co-founder of the Tor Project

Eine der effektivsten Arten um das Tor Netzwerk zu nutzen ist, durch ein dezidiertes Betriebssystem, das starke Voreinstellungen für Privatsphäre und Sicherheit erzwingt. Dieses Betriebssystem ist Tails.
— Electronic Frontier Foundation
