"Secret" Santa, two of them, actually, donate almost $1 Million to Free Software Foundation. Oh Ho Ho!!!

Boston, Massachusetts, USA (Wednesday, December 24, 2025) -- The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced it received two major contributions totaling around $900,000 USD.
These extraordinary donations, both made to the FSF in the cryptocurrency Monero, are among some of the largest private gifts ever made to the organization. The donors wish to remain anonymous.
"These incredible acts of generosity are a true gift in a challenging time for many, including many organizations like ours," said Zoë Kooyman, executive director of the FSF. "It proves that software freedom is recognized more and more as a principal issue today, at the core of several other social movements people care about like privacy, ownership, and the right to repair."
