<h3><a class="anchor" href="#RelayDonations">Can I donate rather
than run my own relay?</a></h3>
<p>
Sure! We recommend two non-profit charities that are happy to turn
your donations into better speed and anonymity for the Tor network:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.torservers.net/">torservers.net</a>
is a German charitable non-profit that runs a wide variety of
exit relays. Note that they also like donations of bandwidth from
ISPs.</li>
<li><a
href="https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge_Tor">Noisebridge</a>
is a US-based 501(c)(3) non-profit that collects donations and turns
them into more exit relay capacity.</li>
</ul>
<p>
These organizations are not the same as <a href="<page
donate/donate>">The Tor Project, Inc</a>, but we consider that a
feature. They're both run by nice people.
</p>
<p>
Note that there can be a tradeoff here between anonymity and
performance. The Tor network's anonymity comes in part from diversity,
so if you are in a position to run your own relay, you will be
improving Tor's anonymity more. At the same time though, economies
of scale for bandwidth mean that combining many small donations into
several larger relays is much more efficient at improving network
performance. Improving anonymity and improving performance are both
worthwhile goals, so however you can help is great!
