Today is the 10th anniversary of Proton’s 2014 crowdfunding campaign where the community came together to make our journey possible.
From the start, Proton has always put people ahead of profits, and today we’re formalizing that by transitioning towards a non-profit structure.
We’re here to serve you, and we look forward to continuing to commit Proton to the public good for the next 10 years and beyond. proton.me/blog/proton-non-profit-foundation

Today is a good day. This basically ensures all of us remain customers for life.
I’m so glad I switched to Visionary. It makes me happy to know THIS is the company I support and choose for my privacy services.
What does this change for users?
I’ve been using proton services for years now and I couldn’t be prouder!
I really want this to be true but I can’t help but ask myself what’s the catch
Great work and really excited to see whats coming in the next 10 years❤️
This is fantastic news!!
Cool! You will have my continuous support.
This is phenomenal and helps to validate the choice we all made whenever we made it.
Excellent news to ensure Proton’s longevity, happy anniversary! 
Beautiful. This makes me feel grateful to be a paid member.
Thank you, Proton. We appreciate you.
Glad to see a company making a commitment to their products and services not getting enshittified. Cheers to them!
This is just awesome. I’m so satisfied that I chose this service a couple of years ago as kind of my first step away from the data-harvesting business model of most of the modern internet.
I’ll gladly pay for email and calendaring that works and doesn’t mine and sell my data, and I’m happy to know enough other people feel the same way that Proton doesn’t have to rely on VC money, donations, or corporate subsidies to survive. I hope Proton is around and still doing its thing for many years.
Will be purchasing a subscription after this. This is exactly what they needed. Very proud.
Great news! They just need a messaging app to rival Signal’s and they’ll cover most of the communication spectrum.
Proton AG is still the for profit organisation that has the goal to make money and is still the company that operates the Proton service like today.
Proton Foundation just holds the majority of the shares.
Fundamentally there is nothing different.
I don’t want to criticize anything, just want to point that out as some people seem to get blinded by a nice headline.
This seems like a great move, congratulations.
good day today all hail to Proton! all hail!
