Not us

We rely on donations, not ads—and there are just 4 days left to get your gift matched 2-to-1. [Donate by 12/31 and your gift will be matched 2-to-1! We’re close to reaching our goal, and you can have triple the impact by contributing today.]( [Brewster Kahle]( Dear Internet Archive Community Member, We are down to the wire—2019 is almost over. If you’ve used the Internet Archive this year, please take 60 seconds to keep our website independent, strong, and free for everyone. For just four more days, your contributions will be matched 2-to-1—so a $5 donation results in $15 for the Internet Archive. [CHIP IN NOW]( You’ve read the headlines. You’ve probably seen it on your own screens. Most of the websites you use are tracking your every move, recording what you do, and sometimes selling your personal data to the highest bidder. Not us. Your privacy is very important to us, so we don’t track what you read. We never accept ads that would surveil you. But we still need to pay for all those servers and staff. If the Wayback Machine disappeared tomorrow, where would you go to find the websites and social media of the past? What would happen to the 11 million broken Wikipedia links we’ve fixed using the Wayback Machine? We stand with Wikipedians, librarians, and creators to make sure there is enduring access to the world’s most trustworthy knowledge—and we need individual Internet users to stand with us. Isn’t it time to support technology you can trust? The average donation is just $45. Most people don't give, but we hope that you can. If everyone reading this chipped in just $5, we could end this fundraiser today. And right now, you have the power to keep this nonprofit library independent and free for years to come. If you find our site useful, please consider contributing [$5, $10, $25, or whatever you can afford]( to keep the Internet Archive going strong in 2020. I promise you, it will be money well spent. I know, because I’m a donor, too. Thank you for helping us reach our goal. We’re close and you can power us over the top. Brewster Kahle Founder & Digital Librarian [CHIP IN NOW]( P.S. Our 2-to-1 gift match ends in less than 4 days. [Please make a tax-deductible donation before the end of 2019 to help us advance universal access to all knowledge.]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [Website]( Our mailing address is: Internet Archive 300 Funston Avenue San Francisco, CA 94118 Want to change how you receive these emails?
