"Signal is an independent nonprofit. We're not tied to any major tech companies, and we can never be acquired by one either. Development issupported by grantsand donations from people like you."
Where do they get their money?
"The initial $50M in funding was a loan, not a donation, from Brian Acton to the new nonprofit Signal Technology Foundation. By the end of 2018, the loan had increased to $105,000,400, which is due to be repaid on February 28, 2068. The loan is unsecured and at 0% interest.["
"The Foundation is completely controlled by Brian Acton, who is the sole "member" of the nonprofit, with the right to appoint or remove every member of the Board of Directors. The Board consists of Acton and Marlinspike. Acton is also the President.[5]"
