CDT receives support from a diverse and balanced range of funders. Specifically, CDT receives funding from foundations, corporations, international institutions, and trade associations. CDT accepts no government funding.

Foundations fund our work on a specific project or give us general support. CDT receives funding from corporations and trade associations to join our working groups (including those on Digital Privacy and Security; User Empowerment; Internet Privacy) or to provide general support. Public interest organizations interested in working on a particular issue join our working groups at no cost.

CDT welcomes individual donations. See our Donate page for information.
