Electrum version 2.0 and higher supports the creation of multi-signature wallet types. I recommend that Tails upgrade their Bitcoin donation address to a multi-signature address for increased security and redundancy. A multi-signature address requires m of n signatures from separate wallets in order to spend the corresponding Bitcoins. A partially signed transaction is created and sent to one of the cosigners for completion. You can setup a 2 of 3 multi-signature wallet to protect against one of the cosigners' wallets being lost or destroyed. In order to set it up, you need the master public keys of the cosigners' wallets. The cosigners are usually other leaders of the project or it can be an offline wallet. The resulting multi-signature addresses begin with a 3 instead of a 1.
Please read the Electrum documentation on multisig at http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/multisig.html .
