It would be helpful if this information is found on its website.
I wrote an email to campai...@fsf.org, but received no response.
I would ask them to reconsider the option to make donations to the project,
because I believe that if you are responsible enough to carry out a project
like PSPP can manage donations received. For example, trust services you hire
other people to do it myself, because I lack expertise.

If you think the FSF should consider PSPP a 'high priority' project, please
write to campai...@fsf.org and tell them.
Collecting donations has been considered before, but there are issues to
consider
such as currency exchange, liability and trust.
If you have a specific feature that you want implemented, and are prepared to
pay
a professional price to get it done, there are companies which can do that for
you. One such company is www.cellform.com
If you want to volunteer to help development, then you are very welcome to do
so.

From what I understand there are few developers currently working in PSPP.
PSPP seems like a great project, could become a high-priority project of
the FSF?. I understand that the support of this campaign aims to redirect
efforts to the software developers promoted in the campaign.
PSPP is a great effort to be a free replacement for SPSS and perhaps an
alternative to other similar software such as SAS or Stata. PSPP efforts are
different from Octave, but equally valuable.
Also, could add to its web site donations, and promoting student projects
for GSoC or similar.
As a user might ask for much and could not contribute code, but could make
some money that could be invested in your valuable time or contract hours for
other developers to work on PSPP.
Has any other ideas? a small campaign donations could be useful.
