Donating to Snowdrift.coop
The crowdmatch pledge
Now that our crowdmatching system is in real testing, you can donate by pledging within the system itself! Then, in order to donate the most and see us succeed, the next step is to invite others to join the crowd and increase the matching effect for everyone!
Volunteering
If you have time to spare as well or instead of money, please consider volunteering.
Separate grants
During our beta testing / startup phase, we continue to welcome larger grants from those who want to see us accelerate to full working operations and supporting multiple projects.
Thank-you bonus options
All startup grant donors may (if they choose) be listed among our official launch sponsors and also may request the following thank-you gifts:
- donate $12+ to get a sticker
- donate $25+ and get a $5 gift card to the working system, once launched
- donate $40+ to be honored as a commit sponsor in the code
- donate $100+ for a t-shirt
- at $500+ we will list you as a key sponsor
Tax-deductible donations under 501(c)(3)
Snowdrift.coop is incorporated as a Michigan non-profit cooperative but does
not currently have independent federal tax-exempt status. However, you can
donate under 501(c)(3) to the
Open Source Initiative
specifying that they use the funds to support us, as we are now one of their
incubator projects. Please
contact us
to get details for this process.
Note: As the OSI takes a modest administrative fee, it makes sense to donate directly to us if you do not need 501(c)(3) terms.
Direct donations
The following options offer easy ways to donate directly to us. Such donations are not tax-deductible.
Note: the convenient button above works with or without a Paypal account, but it costs us a 2.9% + $0.30 fee. To skip the fee, log-in to Paypal and send funds to [email protected] funded by your bank or Paypal balance (not by credit card or paypal credit) and marked as a gift.
