Of course a tax break is no reason for donating, because still “lose” money. But at the first run it makes ones effort more effective. That means, if I had 20 % tax on income I could think of my donation getting “magically“ increased to 125 % on the way to the LilyPond project. That the tax benefit /may/ be eaten by increased organisational expenses is clear. It may be profitable to cooperate with or use an existing NPO, what in turn may include other risks and problems … Hannes _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
