Need a Deduction? Donate to Open
Quoting: Need a Deduction? Donate to Open - FOSS Force —
I’m topping the list with the FSF — which is in the middle of its big annual fundraising drive — even though on the day before Christmas it announced that it just became the beneficiary of two contributions totaling around $900,000.
“These incredible acts of generosity are a true gift in a challenging time for many, including many organizations like ours,” said Zoë Kooyman, the FSF’s executive director. “It proves that software freedom is recognized more and more as a principal issue today, at the core of several other social movements people care about like privacy, ownership, and the right to repair.”
The good news is that when these donations arrived, the organization was already about three quarters of the way to meeting its winter fundraising goal of $400,000. With these donations, they can move the priority away from raising money — although the drive continues until January 16 — to concentrate on gaining new members, which was already a part of this effort.
