Big News: A generous anonymous donor has agreed to donate $2 of every $1 in supporter donations (up to $5k total)! You can effectively triple your donation if you just support us now!
Software Freedom Conservancy is an essential organization to free and open source software. We are the home of over 30 projects like Git, Inkscape, Samba, Wine, Selenium, the GPL Compliance Project for Linux Developers, PyPy and Sugar Labs just to name a few. Conservancy is a "fiscal sponsor plus", providing everything that our projects need in a nonprofit. We help our projects defend their trademarks, manage their assets, handle donations, improve their community management, manage risk and assist them with all legal needs they may have. While we do receive a portion of the revenue donated to our projects, we keep that number low enough that it doesn't even pay for a single staff member. Help us show that you care about community-focused free software and help us be able to continue our charitable work. Donating to Conservancy is a great non-technical way to contribute to the cause.
For the first time, we're launching a Supporter program. For an annual donation of $120, you can download an official Supporter card and receive a Conservancy t-shirt1. If this is out of reach, please donate at whatever level you can - it makes a big difference to us to know that you support us, and a little goes a long way.
In addition to supporting our projects,
As an organization, we try to do do everything transparently; even our internal policies are published and available for scrutiny.
Please join our Supporter program and spread software freedom!
1The shirts will ship during Q1 2015.
Monthly supporters will not receive any supporter benefits (including the t-shirt) until they've been monthly supporters for 12 months.
