Yes: a number of non-profits exist, who operate high-bandwidth Tor exit nodes. In Europe and North America, many of them partnered with the German TorServers.net: https://www.torservers.net/partners.html There are several reasons one might want to setup a non-profit for this:
- we can pool resources (money, but also technical expertise, availability to reply to abuse mails, access to legal expertise ...);
- it gives you greater (but still not great) media visibility for advocacy/outreach and running donation campaigns;
- it puts you on better footing if/when contacted by law enforcement agencies;
- it makes it easier to find networks that aren't heavily represented in the Tor network yet, and are willing to host exit nodes. Full disclaimer: I am on the board of directors and sysadmin team of Nos oignons [NO], a French non-profit that operates Tor exit nodes. [NO]: https://nos-oignons.net |
