Our Donors 2025

We would like to thank everyone who supports our work. Your contributions as volunteer, as an FSFE supporter, or as a sponsor make our work possible. A diverse distributed base of support secures our independence, so every contribution no matter how big or small, is important for our long term work.

Thank you to everybody who donated 18,000 € per year (1,500 € per month) or more (ordered by amount):

Thank you to everybody who donated 720 € per year (60 € per month) or more (alphabetically):

We also would like to thank those donors who preferred to remain anonymous, and the hundreds of donors and supporters who donated smaller amounts, many of them throughout many years. Every financial contribution, no matter how big or small, is important for our work, and in fact, these numerous smaller donations make up one third of our total funds.

We highly encourage all our supporters to also publicly show their support with our supporter graphics and thereby encourage more people and organisations in our society to support our work.

For transparency reasons, the names of legal bodies which donated more than 10% of our total yearly income are listed here without exception. Private people who donate more than 10% of our yearly income are only listed if they agree to it; otherwise, we list the donation as an “anonymous donation from a private person”.

Some of institutions listed above have made their financial contribution in the form of sponsorship for a specific activity of FSFE. While this is, legally speaking, something distinct from a donation, we include them here as well for transparency reasons, so in this page the term “donor” is meant to include sponsors.

Hardware donations are listed on our Hardware Donation website. There, you can also find Information on how to support us with hardware.
