We're always very happy to accept donations to further the cause of +the FreeBSD Project and, in a volunteer effort like ours, a little can go +a long way! Donations of hardware are also very important to expanding +our list of supported peripherals since we generally lack the funds to +buy such items ourselves. + +Donating funds +

While the FreeBSD Project is not a 501(C3) (non-profit) corporation and +hence cannot offer special tax incentives for any donations made, any such +donations will be gratefully accepted on behalf of the project by +FreeBSD, Inc. + +

FreeBSD, Inc. was founded in early 1995 by &a.jkh and &a.davidg with the +goal of furthering the aims of the FreeBSD Project and giving it a minimal +corporate presence. Any and all funds donated (as well as any profits +that may eventually be realized by FreeBSD, Inc.) will be used exclusively +to further the project's goals. + +Please make any checks payable to FreeBSD, Inc., sent in care of the +following address: + + +FreeBSD, Inc. +246 Park St. +Clyde CA, 94520 + + +Wire transfers may also be sent directly to: + + +Bank Of America +Concord Main Office +P.O.

Donations of hardware in any of the 3 following catagories are also gladly +accepted by the FreeBSD Project: + + +General purpose hardware such as disk drives, memory or complete +systems should be sent to the FreeBSD, Inc. address listed in the +donating funds section. + +Hardware for which ongoing compliance testing is desired. +We are currently trying to put together a testing lab of all components +that FreeBSD supports so that proper regression testing can be done with +each new release. We are still lacking many important pieces (network cards, +motherboards, etc) and if you'd like to make such a donation, please contact +&a.davidg for information on which items are still required. + +Hardware currently unsupported by FreeBSD for which you'd like to +see such support added. Please contact the before sending +such items as we'll need to find a developer willing to take on the task +before we can accept delivery of them. + + +Donating internet access + +

We can always use new mirror sites for FTP, WWW or sup. +If you'd like to be such a mirror, please contact + for more information.
