The average impact organization uses ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฌ that silently share data with 87 third parties, including data brokers, ad networks, and sometimes, unbeknownst to them, government agencies.
An LGBTQ+ rights group in Hungary, used Facebook fundraising tools. The government, increasingly hostile, requestedโand receivedโdonor data through Facebook's legal compliance. Donors lost jobs. Were disowned by families. The organization's own tools betrayed their most vulnerable supporters. The fundraising director quit in shame. "We monetized our community's safety," he said.
You're using platforms that will sell out your supporters to the highest bidderโor the scariest government. Your 'cost-effective' tool costs trust, safety, and sometimes freedom.

We created "๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐๐ญ๐๐๐ค" open-source, self-hosted alternatives to every mainstream marketing tool. For a refugee rights group, we built their entire infrastructure on owned servers in privacy-friendly countries. Cost 3x more upfront. Worth it when their donor list was subpoenaed and they could say: "It's encrypted with keys only our beneficiaries hold."
Every tool in your stack has a price. Sometimes it's your supporters' freedom.
