Contribute to The Apache Software Foundation

By garry (add to contacts)

Why should I donate?
As a volunteer-based organization, the Apache Software Foundation stands most in need of dedicated volunteers who can work on software, documentation, or administrative issues within each of the ASF projects. The ASF provides the infrastructure for the projects - the mailing lists, code repositories, bug tracking systems, etc. While all of the administrative effort is currently through unpaid volunteers, we need financial assistance to purchase bandwidth and keep our servers running.

Where would my donations go?
Currently, the bulk of our financial obligations are going towards providing our technical infrastructure - the servers and bandwidth that we require. The foundation also provides legal support for our projects, therefore, it is often required to obtain qualified legal counsel about issues that arise.

The Apache Software Foundation is a non-profit organization
The Apache Software Foundation is a private operating foundation that is registered as a non-profit, charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

I created this small campaign to raise money for the ASF. I deliberately made a small goal amount because I don't want anyone to feel they have to give something large like $50 for it to matter. With this micro campaign, even $1 or $2 will "raise the bar" and fill the badge with yellow. :)

So please, if you've ever used Apache on your system, and I suspect that is every single system admin that is looking at this very text right now, you can spare a buck to go to the ASF. PayPal or any credit card will work, even eCheck.
