Restore the Fourth is honored to be among the recipients of DuckDuckGo’s 15th annual donation program, which supports organizations worldwide working to advance privacy and digital rights. DuckDuckGo’s generous $25,000 contribution will significantly strengthen our advocacy efforts for a stronger Fourth Amendment.
DuckDuckGo has evolved since 2008 into a comprehensive digital privacy solution, featuring Private Search, Web Tracking Protection, Smarter Encryption, Email Protection, Android App Tracking Protections, and more. Their latest innovation allows users to privately sync and back up bookmarks, passwords, and email protection settings across DuckDuckGo browsers on multiple devices, proving that privacy should and can be accessible to all.
We’re deeply grateful to DuckDuckGo for believing in our mission. Support from organizations like theirs is essential to our fight for robust Fourth Amendment protections in the digital age and beyond. The year ahead is pivotal for Restore the Fourth: we’re preparing for the 2026 FISA Section 702 reauthorization, building support for the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act, and championing privacy advocacy on Capitol Hill. DuckDuckGo’s support empowers us in this critical work.
DuckDuckGo’s charitable program, totaling $1,100,000, also supports like-minded organizations including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Signal, and the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP).
