To ensure the project's continued smooth functioning, there must be people administering it.

This information will be stated to donors making donations to the project. To defray this, 5% of donations received for the Noisebridge Tor Project will be donated to the Noisebridge general fund. Running this project as part of Noisebridge represents some additional overhead for the organization as a whole. Donations the Noisebridge Tor Project receives will legally belong to Noisebridge, and as such they will be accounted for as income in the Noisebridge yearly tax filings. The Noisebridge Tor Project will not be acting as a separate legal entity. The project will work in good faith to ensure that these financial relationships do not put the larger Noisebridge organization at financial risk or obligation. The Noisebridge Tor project will only commit and spend money donated for the project, as documented below. We recognize that entering into financial relationships on behalf of Noisebridge carries some risk. By running this project as part of Noisebridge, the donors can be confident that the project is well-run Noisebridge gains by furthering its founding principles of encouraging free anti-censorship communication technologies, and supporting research into privacy-enhancing and distributed technology. However, we know there are some donors (and we believe there are many more) who would like to give money to a known 501(c)3 which has an existing reputation in the community. We considered running this project by accepting donations in the name of an individual or other non-Noisebridge legal entity. We have the domain knowledge to deploy and run these servers, vendors who are interested in providing machines at very competitive prices, and donors who want to give money to a 501(c)3 for this purpose. The goal of the project is to accept donations to Noisebridge for the purpose of paying for Tor nodes. The Noisebridge Tor Project is a group of Noisebridge members who want to create more Tor nodes.
