 Fundraise for Universal Access to Knowledge

Starting today, we've rolled out a new fundraising option that maximizes support while harnessing the power of community. Introducing peer-to-peer fundraising (P2P)—a giving platform that allows individual supporters to host personalized campaigns shared among friends and family. Each campaign launched will collect donations for Internet Archive initiatives that personally matter most to you. Every dollar raised via P2P through September 30 will be matched 2:1, tripling the impact of your generosity.

Why P2P?
P2P Fundraising offers unprecedented flexibility for raising funds for the Internet Archive. Whether you're organizing a hackathon, hosting a livestream, dedicating funds for a graduation or wedding celebration, or collecting donations for an upcoming event like a 5K race, P2P allows individuals to share their fundraising efforts with the community in new and innovative ways.

Getting Started
If you're interested in fundraising through P2P, you can get started by signing up here. Join as an individual or as part of an existing team, or create a new personalized team. Customize your fundraising page by sharing your story on your social media feeds by explaining how the Internet Archive has impacted you. After that, spread the word to your friends and family to maximize the impact of your support. You can also raise funds for key Internet Archive initiatives, such as servers, collections, the Wayback Machine, and more (see below).
