Donations will be matched (up to $159,191) thanks almost entirely to
contributions by a few very generous anonymous donors. Contributions by
individuals keep Software Freedom Conservancy afloat, and it's with your
help that we are empowered to do the vital and sometimes overlooked work
in software freedom. We also have some gracious donors who brought the
amount up a little more to the prime number you see above: Chris
Neugebauer and Josh Simmons, Mark Galassi, Stephen Paul Weber, Tony
Sebro, and VM Brasseur are contributing to our match fund and encourage
others to give as well.

Over the coming weeks, you'll hear more about our projects, initiatives
and success stories from those involved with Software Freedom
Conservancy. As one of the large anonymous donors commented this year:

“I support [Software Freedom Conservancy] because they have vision and
the drive to achieve that vision. Their leadership on inclusion and on
standing up for copyleft, among other things, are sorely needed for the
success of the movement both today and in the future.” 

While it's been a strenuous year and a half with the world still in
disarray, our work continues the struggle of advocating and legally
empowering all users of software to their rights. We have supported the
important work of our member projects; getting DMCA exemptions so that,
for example, everyone can install OpenWrt on their routers; and
supporting Outreachy as they have expanded to more interns than ever.
And we launched our consumer-rights-focused compliance lawsuit against
Vizio.

To find out more about the important work you support when you make a
donation, please see our Sustainers page here.

To have your gift matched, please donate by January 15.

Thank you for helping us reach our goal!
