[GNC] Donations

[John Ralls]

The only connection between GnuCash and the Gnu Foundation is the first three letters in the names. The Gnu Foundation is "a private, non-profit charitable organization with the mission to provide the extreme poor and most vulnerable the financial tools needed – grants, micro loans, business training and other resources – to help them work their way out of poverty.” (https://www.gnufoundation.org/who-we-are).

GnuCash is also unconnected to the Free Software Foundation, home of the GNU’s Not Unix project and the GNU General Public License, except that we use that license. The Free Software Foundation is also a 501c3.

The GnuCash team has no corporate identity so isn’t eligible for chapter 501 tax exemption so contributions to GnuCash are not tax deductible.

Regards,
John Ralls
