The <A HREF="/fsf/fsf.html">Free Software Foundation (FSF)</A> is a
tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charity, like the Red Cross. Like most
charities, we ask for donations of money, which we use to pay staff to
promote the cause of
<A HREF="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</A>.
<A HREF="/order/order.html">Buying manuals, CD-ROMs and t-shirts</A>
from the FSF also helps us do our work.

<P>
Programmers, technical writers, web developers and sysadmins can
contribute their skills to the <A HREF="/gnu/gnu-history.html">GNU
Project</A>--by
<A HREF="/help/help.html#helpgnu">writing software and
documentation</a> for GNU, or helping to operate our facilities. That
is the most direct way to contribute.
<P>
But if you can't donate work, we hope you'll donate money to the FSF
instead. To donate to the FSF, simply mail a check to:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<STRONG>
Free Software Foundation<BR>
59 Temple Place - Suite 330<BR>
Boston, MA 02111<BR>
USA
</STRONG>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
We also accept credit cards. Please write to <A
HREF="mailto:address@hidden";>contact the FSF donations clerk</A> to
give us the information--but please do not send your credit card
numbers in unencrypted electronic email!
<p>
If these methods are not convenient, please <A
HREF="mailto:address@hidden";>contact the FSF donations clerk</A> to
talk about other methods of sending money.
<P>
After we receive your donation, we will send you back a receipt which
you can use to show that you are entitled to a tax deduction on United
States income taxes.
<H4><A HREF="donate.html#TOCUnitedWay"
NAME="UnitedWay">Give to GNU the United Way</A></H4>
<P>
As a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, the FSF is eligible to receive
United Way funds. When donating to United Way, you can specify that
all or part of the donation be directed to the FSF.
<p>
On the donor form, check the ``Specific Requests'' box and include the
sentence, ``Send my gift to the Free Software Foundation, 59 Temple
Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111.''
<p>
If your employer has a policy of matching United Way donations, you
can take advantage of that. We especially appreciate the donations
from Microsoft matching the United Way donations of their employees.
<P>
<H4><A HREF="donate.html#TOCBecomeAPatronOfTheFSF"
NAME="BecomeAPatronOfTheFSF">Become a Patron of the FSF</A></H4>
<P>
The Free Software Foundation wants to acknowledge its supporters and
contributors in a more visible fashion. You can now become an
``official'' supporter of the FSF. When you donate to the FSF, we
will list you on our ``Thank GNUs'' web page.
<P>
If you donate in a year:
<UL>
<LI>$100, you'll become a <STRONG>Supporter</STRONG>
of the FSF
<LI>$500, you'll become a <STRONG>Contributor</STRONG>, get a Certificate and
a "Thank GNUs."
<LI>$1000, you'll become a <STRONG>Sustaining Contributor</STRONG>,
get a Certificate and a gift.
<LI>$5000, you'll become a <STRONG>Patron</STRONG>,
get all the "benefits" of a Sustaining Contributor plus a special gift.

<H4><A HREF="donate.html#TOCHowCompaniesCanDonate"
NAME="HowCompaniesCanDonate">How Companies Can Donate</A></H4>
<P>
Many companies use GNU software for their work. If your office uses
GNU software substantially, you might feel that the company ought to
donate to the FSF. If you think so, we suggest you first talk about
the idea with the other people in your company who use GNU software,
and together decide the best way to ask your management to contribute.
<P>
There are a number of ways a company can support the FSF. It can give
money with an outright donation of funds, or through
purchases--especially
<A HREF="/order/order.html#Subscriptions">CD-ROM subscriptions</A>
or a
<A HREF="/order/deluxe.html">Deluxe Distribution</A>.
<P>
Donation of office equipment and supplies can also be useful, if that
is convenient for you. Ask
<A HREF="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></A>
to find out whether what you have is useful for us.
<P>
Donating computer hardware is also sometimes useful--especially
certain equipment that we specially need, or a new fast machine that
can run a GNU system. Ask
<A HREF="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></A>
to find out whether certain hardware is useful.
<P>
But more computers are not our primary need today. Ten years ago,
when computers were very expensive, it was hard to find enough
machines for our staff to use. Nowadays even a fast PC with a very
nice monitor costs less than paying a programmer for one month.
Therefore, our main need today is for funds to pay more programmers.
<P>
The best way for a company to donate is whichever way management will
agree to. Supporting the FSF through purchases does not have to be
done by the top management; many managers have purchasing authority.
So please consider various ways and see which ways can work in your
company.
<P>
There are free software support companies in the US which work on
developing certain GNU software packages. Doing business with them
does support a part of the GNU project. However, most of these
companies do not donate funds to the Free Software Foundation. So we
hope that you will consider supporting the FSF directly, as well, even
if you are a customer of these companies.
