The Proton Lifetime Account Charity Fundraiser is back. Every ticket sold helps fund organizations that protect privacy, defend free speech, and fight for human rights online.
The eighth edition launches today. You can now enter to win one of 10 Proton Lifetime Accounts, our most exclusive plan that unlocks every Proton product. Forever.
All proceeds will be donated to organizations you helped us select, and the Proton Foundation will contribute an additional $200,000 in matching funds.
Raffle tickets are available until January 5, 2026, and the winning tickets will be announced the next day on our blog while winners will be contacted via email.
A portion of this year’s funds will also go to past beneficiaries continuing to advance privacy and digital rights globally. You can view all previous recipients on Proton’s impact page. Last year, we also allocated money for a Proton Innovation Fund to support independent projects advancing privacy and digital rights, and will begin accepting applications in 2026.
We’re also giving away an 11th Proton Lifetime Account this year through our Proton Lifetime Social Contest. You can enter for free by completing simple social actions (like following Proton’s social accounts, sharing posts, downloading mobile apps, etc.). This contest runs alongside the Proton Lifetime Charity Raffle, ensuring everyone — including those who can’t purchase raffle tickets — still has a chance to win and enjoy Proton’s privacy-by-default ecosystem forever.
