It costs around $50 million every year to ensure Signal is robust and available all over the world for anyone whenever they need it.

And as a nonprofit, that money comes from all of you; the people who believe that we all deserve a place to speak freely.

Btw., how is Signal financed? For a non-profit there is surprisingly little (actually no) easily accessible informaiton about your finances on your website. Maybe I am wrong and things are different in the USA, but from non-profits I am used to easily find their activities and finance reports. And this seems to me quite legitimately important, since the main thing I've learned about the "free" apps from Silicon Valley is that you have to check the business model in order to assess roughly if you are going to pay with your data or not.
