Annual Report
Founding Year — 2024–2026
From incorporation in November 2024 through our 501(c)(3) determination in January 2026 — the story of ODIPA's founding, structure, and launch of eight public programs.
“ODIPA was built to prove that a nonprofit dedicated entirely to digital privacy education and advocacy can build real infrastructure, reach real people, and make a real difference — and our founding year laid that foundation.”
Incorporated in November 2024, we spent our founding period building eight programs, establishing governance, and completing the 501(c)(3) process — receiving our IRS determination letter in January 2026. We then launched odipa.org as a fully open-source platform, making our tools, research, and programs available to the public.
The year ahead brings even greater ambition: expanding our Corporate Certification program, deepening our community presence, publishing our first comprehensive State of Consumer Privacy report, and growing the volunteer network that makes everything possible.
Conservative estimate: $35,000 — Optimistic estimate: $100,000
77% of every dollar goes directly to free public programs
