Your Donation Will Be Matched 1-to-1! Can You Chip In?
Dear Patron: Please don’t scroll past this. The Internet Archive is a nonprofit fighting for universal access to quality information. We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, sell user information, or run ads. Instead, we’re powered by online donations averaging about $14. We’d be deeply grateful if you’d join the one in a thousand users that support us financially.
Right now, we have a matching gift campaign that will double the impact of every donation. We understand that not everyone can donate right now, but if you can afford to contribute this Tuesday, we promise it will be put to good use. Our resources are crucial for knowledge lovers everywhere—so if you find all these bits and bytes useful, please pitch in.
