+<h1>Welcome</h1>
+
+<p>The Software Freedom Conservancy is an organization composed of Free
+and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects. As a fiscal sponsor for FOSS
+projects, the Conservancy provides member projects with free financial
+and administrative services, but does not involve itself with
+technological and artistic decisions.</p>
+
+<p>By joining the Conservancy, member FOSS projects obtain the benefits of
+a formal legal structure while keeping themselves focused on software
+development.  These benefits include, most notably, the ability to collect
+earmarked project donations and protection from personal liability for the
+developers of the project.  Another benefit of joining the Conservancy is
+that projects can use it to hold assets, which are managed by the
+Conservancy on behalf of and at the direction of the project.  The
+Conservancy is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, so member projects can
+receive tax-deductible donations to the extent allowed by law.  To make a
+donation to the Conservancy or to its member projects,
+please <a href="/donate/">visit our donations page</a>.</p>
+
+<p>If you think your FOSS project might benefit from joining the
+Conservancy, please <a href="/about/contact/">contact us</a>.</p>
