The purpose of the Donations Liaison Officer is to encourage and guide donations according to a set of community-accepted rules. The DLO has the following responsibilities.

Donating to the FreeBSD Project

So, you want to donate something to the FreeBSD Project? Great! We strongly rely upon user donations to accomplish our goals. Please read below to see how to contact us about your donation.

If you don't know what you want to give, take a look at our list of needs. We would appreciate any items on this list. If you have equipment you'd like to donate, read on.

Tax Credit for Donations

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. Deductible contributions must be shipped to the FreeBSD Foundation. There, a Foundation volunteer must process the donation and ship it to the actual recipient. The Foundation must also 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.

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.

Part of the goal of the Donations Liaison Office is to match donations with developers who can use them. We don't accept just any donation; we only handle those that have a home with a developer who can use them to improve FreeBSD. This saves time all around, and also helps assure donors that what their contributions are actually supporting the FreeBSD Project. The down side is that we need some information about your donation before accepting it.

Donations generally fall into three categories:

If you have something to offer that doesn't fall into one of these categories, don't fret! Just contact us at donations@FreeBSD.org with your offer. Just because it's not the run-of-the-mill offer doesn't mean that we're not interested.

Financial Contributions

The FreeBSD Project does not directly accept financial contributions. A sponsor organization, the FreeBSD Foundation, accepts financial contributions for us. Please see their Web site for details on financial contributions.

Complete Computer Systems

The FreeBSD Project always needs computers. If you have a computer that you would like to donate to the Project, please contact us with the following information:

If you have hardware that you would like to donate to the Project, please contact us with the following information:

What we Do with this Information

Once we have a description of the donation, the Donations - Liason Office will contact the developer community and offer the + Liaison Office will contact the developer community and offer the resource to them. If we have a developer who would like the item, we put the donor and the recipient in contact and let them work out shipping information. If there are multiple developers interested in a resource, we try to learn what each developer would use the resource for and allocate it most effectively for the Project. If no developer is interested, we turn down the offer.

Our goal is to place (or decline) all donations within 7 days of receipt of complete information.

This page lists various developer hardware needs. If you are interested in supporting the FreeBSD Project, you might consider donating some piece of hardware on this list to the Project.

We provide the FreeBSD username of the developer who needs a resource, the country they are in (for shipping purposes), the equipment they desire, and the use to which that equipment will be put.

On a general note, we need a variety of Sparc 64 machines for testing and improving our new Sparc port. Even small, old (or new!) Sparc 64 machines are perfectly usable. No matter which country you're in, we almost certainly have someone local who could use it. We could specifically use 1U rack-mounted Sparcs (such as E220R, E420R, Fire V100, Fire V120, or Netra T1 AC200) for our development and package-building clusters in the USA.
