non-profit question

[Wright, Ann]

Hi,

In looking at your site and having the ability for people to donate to
your organization I was wondering whether or not you are a non-profit or
a not-for profit organization? (501 ( c ) 3 or 501 ( c ) 4)

Thanks for your time and attention to my question.

Hi Ann,

The organization that receives the donations is the
Software Freedom Conservancy:
  http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org/
which is a 501(c)(3) organization, and donations made to it are fully tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Cheers,

Jeremy

So we need to update  http://www.winehq.org/site/contributing#wpf

and have it read something to this effect?

----

Wine Party Fund

The purpose of the Wine Party Fund is to show appreciation to Wine
developers by collecting funds for developer meetings, such as future
Wine Conferences, or in some cases to purchase documentation.

The organization that manages our donations is the Software Freedom
Conservancy please visit http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org/ for
more information about this organization.

The Software Freedom Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) organization, and
donations made through it are fully tax-deductible to the extent
permitted by law.

Yes, thanks, Tom.

You probably should also change the mailing address to be James Vasille
at the SFC, and have checks made out to the Wine Project.
(Just about no one sends me checks, but then again, I'm not a 501(c)(3) either :-/.

Cheers,

Jeremy
