Donations

Naturally, the OpenBSD project requires funds to operate, due to electrical costs, Internet line costs and the same hardware upgrades that everyone must experience. For this reason, the project sells CDROMs and T-shirts and posters. Thus, when you buy an OpenBSD CD, whether at a conference, from any sales site, or from our CDROM ordering page, you are helping to increase the chance that OpenBSD will continue to make future releases.

It is also possible to donate funds or hardware, in which case your name ends up on our Donations page. If you wish your donation to refer to something other than your name, or have a link provided on our web page, please send in a comment with your transaction (if you ask us to change it later, it is rather inconvenient).

• Cheques
  Simply send a donation cheque in CAD/EUR/USD funds made out to Theo de Raadt, since
  cheques made out to "OpenBSD" cannot be cashed. (Or mail Theo de Raadt for other ideas).

While donations are not US tax deductible as charitable contribution, they may be deductible as an operating expense, and if someone is so inclined, they should ask for the advice of their accountant. The same applies to other countries, where corporations can make deductible donations under the terms of "Good Will".

We have a list of hardware that we would like to see donated to the project. We would appreciate it if people would look through the list and compare it to personal or corporate junk piles. Amongst other reasons, the list exists so that project members can own devices that should be supported, so that future releases ship with better device driver support.

The following people and organizations (listed in chronological order) have contributed money, equipment, or services to the OpenBSD, OpenSSH, OpenBGPD, or OpenOSPFD projects.

If you have donated to the project and are not in the above list, please send mail to www@openbsd.org. WARNING: www@openbsd.org is a publicly visible and publicly archived mailing list. Your email address and email will be publicly visible forever, once you send email to here. Use a throw-away email address if you are not well protected from spam.
