The Signal Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 2018 by Moxie Marlinspike and Brian Acton.[3] Its mission is "to develop open source privacy technology that protects free expression and enables secure global communication."[3]

The foundation shares its name with the Signal messaging app. The Freedom of the Press Foundation has served as the project's fiscal sponsor and will continue to accept donations on behalf of Signal while the foundation's non-profit status is pending.[3]

History
