Donate
The Free Software Foundation Europe is a non-profit non-governmental organisation. Our work is made possible by a community of volunteers, Fellows and donors. Your donations are critical to our strength and autonomy. They enable us to continue working for Free Software wherever necessary, and to be an independent voice.
Ways of donating
Joining the organisation
The recommended way for donating to us is to join. You can decide on if you want to pay monthly, yearly or as a one-time donation. If you're an individual looking to support us financially, please use this option.
Other options
If you want to support us as an organisation or business, or if you don't want to join the organisation but still contribute financially, please contact us and we will discuss the possibilities with you. You can find our list of donors to see who else is supporting us, and you can also read about our different donation levels there.
What happens next
If you donate more than 480 Euro in a year, we would like to add your name to our donors list. You can also remain anonymous.
Additionally, you can include our Sponsoring buttons on your own web page to show your support for us.
Tax deduction
In some countries, donations to us can be deducted from income tax. Currently, this is the case in Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. A donation receipt is generally sent in the beginning of the year for donations received the previous year.
