Support Our Mission
Your donation powers a new kind of defense — protecting minds, not just machines.
Why Your Support Matters
The threats we face are real. From algorithmic manipulation to synthetic media and large-scale influence operations, the cognitive domain is under sustained attack — and most people don't even know it's happening.
The Cognitive Security Institute exists to change that. We conduct research, develop tools, train practitioners, and build community around one of the most urgent challenges of our time.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on the support of people who believe that protecting minds matters as much as protecting machines.
Where Your Money Goes
Funding original research into cognitive threats, influence operations, and synthetic media.
Training programs, workshops, and public resources that build cognitive resilience.
Events like CognectCon that bring together researchers, practitioners, and leaders.
Open-source projects like the Cognitive Attack Taxonomy and Phish.golf.
We fundraise through Zeffy — a platform that charges zero platform fees, meaning 100% of your donation goes directly to our mission.
