Thank you for considering a donation

Your contribution can help NLnet with its unique mission and approach. Like you we care — a lot — about supporting great ideas that help establish tomorrows internet (and keep it as open as it is today). And the way we do it works. Don't just take our word for it, listen to people from around the world why they think the work of NLnet deserves to be supported.

With your donation we can keep on fueling new generations of talent around the planet to work at the free and open internet.

Donate by bank transfer
The most economic way to donate to NLnet Foundation varies across the world. If you are from Europe, bank payments are free and thus by far the recommended option. Depending on regulatory oversight, banks are reasonably trustworthy as well in terms of sharing your personal data, unlike some payment providers.

From elsewhere in the world, banking costs may be hilarious or obscene (depending on your sense of humour). While we await the arrival of privacy-respecting solutions like GNU Taler, we'll have to do with payment providers that are less than ideal.

We are currently experiencing some technical issues with using PayPal, and overall are not satisfied with the service anyway, so we will be switching away from that soon.


Donate Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is a widespread cryptocurrency, that is well suited for pseudonymous donations. As in, we don't know who makes a donation to us but every single transfer goes into a public database (blockchain) and with a great deal of work a global adversary may be able to link it back to you.
