Software Freedom Conservancy Launches Supporter Program
December 3, 2014
Software Freedom Conservancy announces today the launching of the Conservancy Supporter program. This annual donation program allows individuals to provide ongoing support to Conservancy and its charitable activities.
Under the Supporter program, for an annual donation of $120, donors receive:
- an “Official Supporter” badge for display on their personal websites,
- a printable “Official Supporter” card,
- public listing on the Supporter section of Conservancy's website (optional),
- a Conservancy T-Shirt.
Donating to Conservancy is a great non-technical way to contribute to
the cause,
said Karen Sandler, Executive Director of Conservancy. By
being a member you show you care about the community support of free and open
source software. I hope people include Conservancy in their year-end
charitable giving.
Individual support of charities is essential to their survival,
said Bradley M. Kuhn, President and Distinguished Technologist of
Conservancy. I know many individuals value our work at Conservancy, and
I hope they will become
supporters today.
