[9fans] Plan 9 Foundation is a 501(c)(3)

[Anthony Sorace]

Since announcing the Plan 9 Foundation, folks have asked how they can support our work. We’ve had that “on hold” until we had a bunch of organizational things sorted. We’re very pleased to say that the last big one of those is now completed: the Plan 9 Foundation has been recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization by the IRS. If you’re a U.S. taxpayer, donations to the Foundation are now tax deductible. This also lets us participate in a lot of other things, perhaps most notably employer matching programs. If you work at a company with such a program, you can now multiply your donation.  The easiest way to make a donation is via credit/debit card here: https://www.zeffy.com/donation-form/25fe42cb-e841-497d-94b0-c05a3a5bb153 Zeffy is a credit card processor that only works with non-profits and passes through your entire donation amount (they’ll ask you for an optional “tip” to fund their operations). If you’d like to make a donation in another way, more information can be found on the Foundation’s page for donations: http://plan9foundation.org/donate.html On behalf of the board, thanks to everyone who’s expressed interest for your patience in getting to this point.
