Funding
=======
Grants
------
- Our grant to [Reset](https://reset.tech/) from May 1 was rejected.
- We applied to [RIPE NCC](https://www.ripe.net/support/cpf/call-for-applications)
to work on usability improvements for censorship circumvention.
Donations
---------
- We [[surveyed "lapsed donors"|blueprint/donation_process#survey]] who haven't
donated since 2019 and analyzed 121 responses. Conclusions:
* We're doing good! Negative comments were few exceptions in a mass of
love: the work that we do is very important and we do it well.
* We should communicate a bit more and better with past donors:
- The main reason for lapsed donors not to renew their donation is
lack of awareness.
- We should write a newsletter to donors half-way through the year
or when we have major improvements.
- Adding an opt-in mechanism for our newsletter would allow us to be
less shy to write them.
- LimeSurvey is more convenient to send mass emails to donors.
- We should communicate more about the impact of donations and how
we spend the money.
* About our donors and their interests:
- Donors are mostly users (74%) but they are really into helping
others (70%).
- Donors mostly talk about:
* Privacy (24)
* Protection from oppressive governments and persecution (18)
* Liberty and freedom of speech (16)
- We merged a first batch of improvements to our [[Donate|donate]] page:
* To better explain our mission:
- We wrote new slogans.
- We improved the text on the left.
* To better explain how we spend our money:
- We simplified the chart and added short text to explain each of
maintenance, improvements, user experience, and administration.
- We added a section about our impact with numbers of daily users.
* To increase trust:
- We duplicated the recommendations from the Home page.
- We improved the color scheme of the charts.
Partners
--------
