Great! We strongly rely The FreeBSD Foundation can act as a charitable organization for tax purposes. If you live in the United States, your donation can be deducted from your taxes under certain conditions. If you want a receipt for tax purposes your contribution, please let us know when you send information on your donation. -A tax credit is not as easy as it might seem. The donations team must be informed of the desire for a tax deduction so the foundation may be notified, and informed when it has been shipped. The Foundation will also need to know when the item has been received by the intended individual. The Foundation must then be able to demonstrate that the donation is in the _public good_. All of this together means that while we probably have developers who would be interested in that big box of ISA cards in your closet, you probably cannot get a tax credit for them; the total work needed to process, ship, and document them far exceeds their total value. +A tax credit is not as easy as it might seem.

The FreeBSD Foundation will provide a receipt for delivery of equipment. They will not, however, provide a fair-market valuation of the equipment -- in fact, the law forbids them to do so. We recommend checking elsewhere for valuations of hardware donations. Since many of our donations are obsolete, making fair market value hard to judge, we suggest searching on Ebay or other used equipment sites for prices paid for similar equipment. |
