								<h1>Welcome</h1>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>The Software Freedom Conservancy is an organization composed of Free
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects. As a fiscal sponsor for FOSS
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								projects, the Conservancy provides member projects with free financial
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								and administrative services, but does not involve itself with
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								technological and artistic decisions.</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>By joining the Conservancy, member FOSS projects obtain the benefits of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								a formal legal structure while keeping themselves focused on software
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								development.  These benefits include, most notably, the ability to collect
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								earmarked project donations and protection from personal liability for the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								developers of the project.  Another benefit of joining the Conservancy is
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								that projects can use it to hold assets, which are managed by the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Conservancy on behalf of and at the direction of the project.  The
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Conservancy is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, so member projects can
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								receive tax-deductible donations to the extent allowed by law.  To make a
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								donation to the Conservancy or to its member projects,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								please <a href="/donate/">visit our donations page</a>.</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>If you think your FOSS project might benefit from joining the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Conservancy, please <a href="/about/contact/">contact us</a>.</p>
