<h2>Donations to the FSFE</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>There are as many <a href="/help/letter-20041209.html">reasons</a> as
|
||
ways for people to support the <a href="/documents/whatwedo.html">work</a>
|
||
and <a href="/documents/whyweexist.html">goals</a> of the Free Software
|
||
Foundation Europe. The most direct one is to help us as a volunteer by
|
||
writing free software or free documentation. We also need people to help
|
||
us with other tasks like manning tradeshow booths and such. If you are
|
||
interested, you can take a look at the "<a href="help.html">What
|
||
needs to be done?</a>" page.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Another crucial way of supporting the FSFE is by donating money that
|
||
will allow us to cover our expenses and pay people to work on and for Free
|
||
Software. Of course you can decide by your own if you want to support the
|
||
FSFE on a regular basis or with an one-time donation.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The FSFE is a Europe-wide organisation that seeks
|
||
official recognition by local authorities as a charity whenever
|
||
possible. Depending on local laws, this may allow deducing your
|
||
donation from taxes. Please refer to the list below for
|
||
details.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Become a patron of the FSFE</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>The Free Software Foundation Europe wants to acknowledge its supporters
|
||
and contributors in a visible fashion. We provide some titles and
|
||
sponsoring buttons which you could get for a specific minimum donation
|
||
within one year. Therefore we would like to ask you to send mail to
|
||
<code><a
|
||
href="mailto:office@fsfeurope.org"><office@fsfeurope.org></a></code>
|
||
and let us know where to send the receipt and thank-you letter. Also we'd
|
||
like to list you on our "<a href="thankgnus.html">Thank GNUs</a>"
|
||
page. Even if you prefer to remain anonymous, please let us know how to
|
||
reach you, so we can thank you privately.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you are interested in announcing your contribution
|
||
publicly, the FSFE also provides some
|
||
<a href="/about/graphics/sponsoring/sponsoring.en.html">sponsoring
|
||
buttons</a> for its donors.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you donate:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>EUR 10 every month <em>OR</em> EUR 120 in a year, you'll become a
|
||
<b>Supporter</b> of the FSFE.</li>
|
||
<li>EUR 50 every month <em>OR</em> EUR 600 in a year, you'll
|
||
become a <b>Contributor</b> of the FSFE.</li>
|
||
<li>EUR 100 every month <em>OR</em> EUR 1200 in a year, you'll
|
||
become a <b>Sustaining Contributor</b> of the FSFE.</li>
|
||
<li>EUR 500 every month <em>OR</em> EUR 6000 in a year, you'll
|
||
become a <b>Patron</b> of the FSFE.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>Monthly donors starting late in the year will get a
|
||
"(mm/yy-)" suffixed to their listing, monthly donors
|
||
stopping early in the year get a "(-mm/yy)."
|
||
Late-starting, early-stopping donors are suffixed with a
|
||
"(mm/yy-mm/yy)."</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>How to donate</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>The Free Software Foundation Europe is still growing and there may not
|
||
yet be a local bank account that is capable of accepting tax-deductable
|
||
donations even if your local laws allow for them. In this case you can
|
||
donate to the central bank account (see below) or contact <a
|
||
href="mailto:office@fsfeurope.org">our office</a> for information on how
|
||
to donate in the most convenient way.</p>

||
<p><b>Please understand that tax-deductability is only possible
|
||
when stated explicitly below.</b></p>

||
|
||

|
||

|
||
