community-focused free software and help us be able to continue our

charitable work. Donating to Conservancy is a great non-technical way to

contribute to the cause.</p>

<p>For the first time, we're launching a Supporter

program. For <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">an annual donation of $120</a>, you can

download an official Supporter card and receive a Conservancy t-shirt[1]. If

this is out of reach, please donate at whatever level you can - it makes a

big difference to us to know that you <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">support us</a>, and a little goes a long

way.</p>

<p>In addition to supporting our projects,

<ul>

<li>we share our expertise across communities. We speak at many

conferences, and publish materials to increase understanding about the

organizational, community and legal issues around free and open source

software. We advocate for free an open source software and provide

education around that mission.  We form partnerships across our

communities to work more effectively.  Check out <a

or sign up to join the <a 

href="http://sfconservancy.org/news/2014/aug/12/tax-exempt-working-group/">

tax exempt working group</a>.</li>

<li>we seek to solve problems for the public through free and open 

source

software.  We've launched a <a href="http://npoacct.sfconservancy.org/">

nonprofits accounting project</a> to help all

nonprofits (in free software and in other fields) avoid paying millions

of dollars in licensing fees for subpar accounting software.</li>

<li>as part of Conservancy's partnership in the program, we support Karen as

  a co-organizer of the Free and Open Source Software Outreach Program.</li>

<li>we encourage and support our employees to do volunteer work in the

    community.  For example, Bradley and Karen together host an oggcast

    called <cite><a href="http://faif.us">Free as in Freedom</a></cite> which

    discusses important legal and policy issues in open source and free

    software.</li></ul>

<p>As an organization, we try to do do everything transparently; even 

our

<a 

href="https://gitorious.org/conservancy/policies/source/master:">

internal policies</a> are published and available for scrutiny.</p>

<p>Please <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">join our Supporter program</a> and spread software freedom!</p>

[1] the shirts will ship First Quarter 2015.
