Freedom of the Press Foundation

The Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) is a U.S.-based non-profit organization established on December 17, 2012. Its mission is to protect and promote freedom of the press by supporting journalists and whistleblowers through various initiatives. FPF is a 501(c)3 organization, allowing for tax-deductible donations. FPF offers several key services, including SecureDrop, an open-source system for secure and anonymous communication between journalists and their sources, used by over 65 major news organizations worldwide. The foundation also provides digital security training for journalists and filmmakers, helping them safeguard their work and sources. Additionally, FPF maintains the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, a database documenting press freedom violations in the United States, and engages in advocacy and legal support to defend the rights of journalists and whistleblowers. Prominent figures, including Edward Snowden, have been involved with FPF, highlighting its commitment to press freedom and digital rights.
