We know we have supporters around the world, in every country, and we know of people for whom an FSF membership means a lot, but, for various reasons they currently can't afford to pay for an associate membership themselves. This sponsorship program is a way to ensure everyone has a chance to be represented as an FSF member, regardless of income.
We are immensely grateful to all our donors and sponsors. We thank those who sponsor four or more memberships on our social media accounts and on our list of ThankGNUs.
The Free Software Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so gifts to the FSF are tax-deductible in the US. We recommend that you consult with your tax advisor.
If you prefer to gift a membership to someone you know, please use the "gift a membership" form.
