Donations

The OpenBSD foundation exists as a place where donations can be made to further OpenBSD, OpenSSH, and related software projects. We are a Canadian federally incorporated not-for-profit corporation, which means funds directed to us must be directed towards our stated objects, other than what we require for operating overhead. We endeavor to keep our overhead as small as possible.

We are not a registered charity, in the sense that we do not issue tax deductible receipts. The reporting overhead (accounting and legal costs) to operate a registered charity in Canada is prohibitive without a sizable revenue stream. Currently, this would divert a great deal of resources that could be better utilized in helping build good free software. We do issue reciepts for all donations which while not deductable as charitable donations in Canada may be used for accounting and/or tax purposes.

The Foundation will work in cooperation with the OpenBSD development team to ensure funds are applied to areas of greatest need.

Donations may be made by cheque in CAD/EUR/USD funds to:
