Freedom of the Press Foundation

Common card · No. 493298

Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) is an American non-profit organization founded in 2012 to fund and support free speech and freedom of the press. The organization originally managed crowd-funding campaigns for independent journalistic organizations, but now pursues technical projects to support journalists' digital security and conducts legal advocacy for journalists. The FPF's SecureDrop platform facilitates confidential and secure communication between journalists and their sources, many of whom are whistleblowers. It has been adopted by more than 65 news organizations globally. It also manages the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, a database of press freedom violations in the United States, and Dangerzone, which is a tool to more securely save and open pdfs. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden joined FPF's board of directors in 2014 and began serving as its president in early 2016. Rainey Reitman became Board President in late 2022 and remains in the position.
