We're pleased to announce an ambitious match challenge for this
fundraising season.

As a non-profit dedicated to upholding user freedoms and protections
against corporate and other interests that may not be in the public's
general interest, we rely upon the donations from our individual
sustainers. Software Freedom Conservancy has been growing and is able to
take on the work it does thanks to the incredible support of individuals
who care about an organization who stands up for the equitable, ethical
and end user focused technologies [0].

This year's match is comprised of donations solely by individual donors
-- a few large anonymous donors as well as a handful of smaller donors
who are planning to give just a little bit more this year to challenge
SFC supporters to make their annual Sustainer contribution go further.
These smaller donors include (in first name alphabetical order): Asumu
Takikawa, Elizabeth Joseph, John Sullivan, Justin Flory and Will Norris,
all of whom care deeply about software freedom. We are excited to
highlight them over the next few weeks.

These generous donations raise our match fund to $104,759, so be sure to
donate by January 16 to maximize their donations!

This year has been packed with growth for SFC and exciting work in free
software, including our historic consumer rights lawsuit to promote
copyleft [1], the diversity and inclusion efforts of Outreachy & The
Institute for Computing in Research, and our support of all of our
wonderful member projects.

Thank you so much for your support and please consider becoming a
Sustainer now.
