+**Somewhere, NH** -- Internet search company `DuckDuckGo`_ has announced their intention to
+award $5000 to the `Invisible Internet Project` (I2P) as part of their yearly open-source
+donation drive. The award was granted on the basis of `nominations`_ by members of the public
+on the DuckDuckGo community portal. With an emphasis on privacy, DuckDuckGo provides a search
+engine which does not track its users or store personal data. I2P is a darknet intended to
+protect individuals from dragnet surveillance regularly performed by ISPs and governments.
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+This marks the single largest donation ever received by I2P and reflects a growing interest in
+privacy by the Internet community. The funding will help I2P to reach more users, expand
+development, and audit the code. It will also enable I2P developers to attend conferences, such
+as the `Real-World Cryptography`_ conference in New York City, where the developers met and
+collaborated with cryptography experts pursuant to I2P's goals of providing anonymity to the
+public.
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+I2P would like to thank Gabriel Weinberg, DuckDuckGo, and the I2P community for their support
+both during the nomination process and continuing on in to the future.
