<p>Conservancy is uniquely qualified to undertake this task.  Using only Free
 
  Software, Conservancy already meets the complex accounting challenges of
 
  earmarked, directed donations for over thirty different projects.  We've

  operation, and we're prepared to apply what we've learned to solve
