Generous Match Challenge from Individual Conservancy Supporters for 
Annual Fundraiser

We are pleased to launch our annual fundraiser today with a match 
challenge of $111,029. This match is extremely exciting (not only 
because it is a prime number for the second year but also) because the 
pledges comes entirely from individuals (not companies!) who care deeply 
about software freedom. The bulk of this match challenge was provided by 
one very generous donor who prefers to remain anonymous. Their amount 
was augmented by six Conservancy Supporters (listed alphabetically) who 
came together to increase the match even more: Jeremy Allison, Kevin P. 
Fleming, Roan Kattouw, Jim McDonough, Allison Randal and Daniel Vetter. 
You'll be hearing more about why they joined this year's match donation 
in interviews on our blog in the coming weeks.

This year's been difficult for everyone, but Conservancy has worked hard 
to contribute as much as possible during this time. Did you know that 
Conservancy spent about $1.5 million dollars to fund software freedom 
projects and initiatives? And, that Outreachy provided the most 
internships this past year than ever before? And, that we've launched 
new strategic efforts to defend copyleft for software in our community?
