<h1> Applying to Join Conservancy as a Member Project</h1>

<p>Conservancy's Evaluation Committee considers  applications monthly on a

  rolling basis.  Currently, Conservancy has dozens of projects in

  various stages of the application process.</p>

<p>The application process is somewhat informal.  New applicants should

  write an initial inquiry email

  to <a href="mailto:apply@sfconservancy.org">&lt;apply@sfconservancy.org&gt;</a>

  with a very brief description of their project and a URL to their

  project's website.  We'll send back initial questions (if any), and

  after those questions are answered, we'll send the full application

  materials.  Applications should be submitted in plain ASCII text via

  email.</p>

<p>Projects are reviewed by Conservancy's Evaluation Committee, which is

  chartered by Conservancy's <a href="/about/board/">Board of

  Directors</a>.</p>

<h1>Project Membership Application FAQs</h1>

<p>The following are various questions that we typically get from project

  leaders that wish to apply to Conservancy.</p>

<h2>I sent in my inquiry letter and/or application a long time ago.  Why haven't you replied?</h2>

<p>Conservancy receives an overwhelming level of interest and we have very few

  meet the interest and demand

  services</a> to its member projects.  Meanwhile, Conservancy always

  prioritizes needs of

  projects</a> over new inquiries and applications.  Therefore, it

  sometimes can take quite a while to finish the application process and

  be offered membership, but please note that such delays mean that should

  your project ultimately become a member project, your project will then

  be a beneficiary of this policy.</p>

<h2>What are the key criteria our project must meet to join?</h2>

<p>In order to join, projects need to meet certain criteria.  A rough

  outline of those criteria are as follows:</p>

<p>

<ul><li>The project must be a software development or documentation

    project.  Non-software projects to advance the cause of software

    freedom, while important and useful, are beyond the scope of

    Conservancy.</li>

    <li>The project must be exclusively devoted to the development and

    documentation of FLOSS.  The project's goals must be consistent with

    Conservancy's tax-exempt purposes, and other requirements imposed

    on Conservancy by the IRS' 501(c)(3) rules.  Namely, the goal of the

    project must to develop and document the software in a not-for-profit

    way to advance the public good, and must develop the software in

    public.</li>

    <li>The project must be licensed in a way fitting with software

      freedom principles.  Specifically, all software of the project

      should be licensed under a license that is listed both as

      a <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html">Free

      Software license by the Free Software Foundation</a> and as

      an <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical">Open

      Source license by the Open Source Initiative</a>.  All software

      documentation for the project should be licensed under a license on

      the preceding lists, or under Creative

      or

   <li>The project should have an existing, vibrant, diverse community

      that develops and documents the software.  For example, projects

      that have been under development for less than a year or only a

      “proof of concept” implementation are generally not

      eligible.</li>

</ul>

</p>

<p>While any project meeting the criteria above can apply, meeting these

  criteria doesn't guarantee acceptance of your project.  Conservancy

  favors projects that are well-established and have some track record of

  substantial contributions from a community of volunteer developers.

  Furthermore, Conservancy does give higher priority to projects that

  have an established userbase and interest, but also tries to accept some

  smaller projects with strong potential.</p>

<h2>Is our project required to accept membership if offered?</h2>

<p>Not at all.  Many projects apply and subsequently decide not to join a

  non-profit, or decide to join a different non-profit entity.  Don't

  worry about “wasting our time” if your project's developers

  aren't completely sure yet if they want to join Conservancy.  If

  membership in Conservancy is currently a legitimate consideration for

  your project, we encourage you to apply.  We'd rather that you apply and

  turn down an offer for membership than fail to apply and have to wait

  until the next application round when you're sure.</p>

<h2>What benefits does our project get from joining?</h2>

<p>We maintain a <a href="/members/services">detailed list of services

    that Conservancy provides to member projects</a>.  If you have

    detailed questions about any of the benefits, please

    ask <a href="mailto:apply@sfconservancy.org">&lt;apply@sfconservancy.org&gt;</a>.</p>

<h2>Conservancy seems to be called a &ldquo;fiscal sponsor&rdquo; to its

  member projects.  Does that mean you give our project money if we join?</h2>

<p>It's true that we would love to fund our member projects if it were

  possible, because we believe they deserve to be funded.  However, that's

  not typically what a fiscal sponsor does.  The term “fiscal

  sponsor“ is often used in non-profit settings and has a standard

  meaning there.  But, to those not familiar with non-profit operations,

  it comes across as a bit of a misnomer.</p>

<p>In this context, a fiscal sponsor is a non-profit organization that,

  rather than fund a project directly, provides the required

  infrastructure and facilitates the project's ability to raise its own

the project.  A significant service that Conservancy provides its

members is a vehicle through which copyright ownership in the project can

be unified.  There are several advantages to having a consolidated

copyright structure, including that it makes enforcement activity easier

and more effective.  However, copyright, trademark, and domain name

assignment is not a requirement in order to join Conservancy, rather,

it is an option for those projects that ask for it.</p>

<h2>If our project joins, must it be a member project of Conservancy forever?</h2>

<p>All agreements between member projects and Conservancy stipulate

clearly that the member project can leave Conservancy with a few

months' notice.  Federal tax exemption law, though, states that projects

must transfer their assets from Conservancy in a way that is

consistent with Conservancy's not-for-profit tax status —

meaning the assets cannot be transferred to an individual or a for-profit

entity.  Generally, a project would either find another fiscal sponsor or

form their own independent tax-exempt non-profit.</p>

<p>We fully expect that some Conservancy projects will ultimately wish to

  form their own non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations; that's why we design

  our agreements with projects to allow them to leave to another 501(c)(3)

  organization.  Typically, projects join Conservancy because the project

  leaders don't want the burdens of running a non-profit themselves.

  Often, as projects grow, leaders get interested in the non-profit

  management and organizational side of the activities and are then

  prepared to take on the additional work themselves.</p>

<h2>How are &ldquo;project leaders&rdquo; defined with respect to Conservancy?</h2>

<p>How leaders are chosen for projects varies greatly from project to

  project.  Our goal is to do our best to embody the “natural”

  leadership structure that evolved in your project into the formal

  agreement with Conservancy.  As part of the agreement drafting, we work

  carefully with you to understand your project's governance and write up

  formally with you the decision-making process you use. Most project

  contributors find this process of formalizing the leadership structure

  helps them clarify in their own minds the governance of their project,

  even though the process can be difficult.  Since it can be a complicated

  process, we suggest that you prepare your project community for this

  discussion once your project is accepted.</p>

<h2>How much does it cost us financially to join Conservancy?</h2>

<p>New Conservancy members are required to pay 10% of their revenue that

  Conservancy processes to Conservancy's general fund, which primarily is

  used to pay staff.  (Details on how Conservancy spends its funds,

  including salaries of key employees, can be found

  annual filings</a>.)</p>

<p>Historically, Conservancy allowed projects to give less or nothing at

  all to the general fund, but we unfortunately discovered that without

  this requirement, Conservancy was not able to offer the myriad of

  services to all its projects, particularly to larger projects that

  have more income and therefore need more attention from staff.</p>

<p>We do understand that, particularly for small projects that only

  receive a few small donations, that donating a percentage of your income

  back to Conservancy can be a high burden.  Therefore, Conservancy

  remains open to discussion on a case-by-case basis for smaller projects

  about how to handle this requirement, and applicants should feel free to

  raise any concerns about this issue during the application process.</p>

{% endblock %}

  development and licensing, trademark enforcement, copyright licensing

  and enforcement, and non-profit governance questions and issues.</p>

<h2>FLOSS Copyright License Enforcement</h2>

<p>Complying with FLOSS licenses is easy, as they permit and encourage

  both non-commercial and commercial distribution and improvements.

  Nevertheless, violations of FLOSS licenses (in particular of

  the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GPL</a>

  and <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html">LGPL</a>) are all

  too common.  At request of the project's leaders, Conservancy can carry

  out license enforcement activity on behalf of the project's copyright

  holders.</p>

<h2>Fundraising Assistance</h2>

<p>Conservancy provides various tools and advice to member projects on

  methods of raising funds for their projects' earmarked accounts.</p>

<h2>Avoid Non-Profit Administrivia</h2>

<p>Member projects can continue to operate in the same way they did before

joining Conservancy without having to select a board of directors or

any other layer of corporate management, without having to maintain

corporate records and without having to do any of the other things

required of incorporated entities.  Conservancy handles all of that

burden on behalf of its projects.</p>

<h2>Leadership Mentoring, Advice and Guidance</h2>

<p>Many of Conservancy's <a href="/about/board">directors</a> are

  experienced FLOSS project leaders.  They offer themselves as a resource

  to member project leaders who need assistance or face challenges in

  their work leading their projects.</p>

<h2>Some Personal Liability Protection</h2>

<p>When a project joins Conservancy, it formally becomes part of the

  Conservancy. (The project is thus somewhat analogous to a division of a

  company or a department in a large agency.)  As such, project leaders

  benefit from some amount of protection from personal liability for their

  work on the project.</p>

<hr/>

<p>Those familiar with non-profit terminology will recognize most of these

  services

  sponsorship services</a>.  This term is not particularly well

  known in the FLOSS community, and many are confused by that term.

  However, if you are familiar with what a fiscal sponsor typically does

  in the non-profit sector, the term does fit many of services that

  Conservancy offers its member projects.</p>

<p>Project

leaders that believe their project might benefit from these services can

<a href="/members/apply/">apply to become a member project</a>.</p>

<h1>Software Freedom Conservancy</h1>

<p>Software Freedom Conservancy is a not-for-profit organization that

  helps promote, improve, develop, and defend Free, Libre, and Open Source

  Software (FLOSS) projects.  Conservancy provides a non-profit home and

  infrastructure for FLOSS projects.  This allows FLOSS developers to

  focus on what they do best — writing and improving FLOSS for the

  general public — while Conservancy takes care of the projects' needs that

  do not relate directly to software development and documentation.</p>
