About Freedom of the Press Foundation

freedom.press

Freedom of the Press Foundation is a nonprofit organization that defends and strengthens press freedom and the public’s right to know. It supports investigative and public-interest journalism through advocacy, legal support, fundraising, and by building and maintaining digital-security tools—most notably funding and supporting SecureDrop and other open-source projects that protect journalists and sources. The foundation also advances government transparency, supports whistleblowers, and provides training and resources for secure reporting. Newsrooms, journalists, and transparency advocates rely on FPF for technical tools, grants, and policy expertise.
