Today we are launching our annual fundraiser, and thanks to our generous
matchers we are aiming to raise $211,927. That means by donating,
renewing or joining our Sustainer program [0], our matchers will double
your donation! You can also help spread the word about our fundraiser by
word of mouth or on the Fediverse [1].

We'd like to thank our matchers for generously supporting us, and are
highlighting some of them this fundraising season. You'll hear from
Allison Randal, Eric Schultz, Christine Lemmer-Webber and Kees Cook.
about how they became interested in software freedom and why they
support SFC. As an organization primarily funded from individuals like
our matchers, we pride ourselves on representing and working for the
public. In a world full of venture capital and private equity, we are
humbled in the way that you all power and sustain our work.

As always, this year has been incredibly busy [2]. From pushing forward
the Vizio lawsuit to bringing the OpenWrt to market to running the third
annual FOSSY conference [3], to welcoming new member projects [4], we're
thrilled to spread the word about software freedom all over the globe.
We're so thankful for our sustainers [5] who enable us to do such great
work.

This winter, as there will be many updates on the Vizio lawsuit [6],
we'll be hosting some live Q&A's with Executive Directory Karen Sandler,
Policy Fellow Bradley M. Kuhn, and Director of Compliance Denver
Gingerich. Stay tuned for those dates!

Be sure to become a sustainer before January 15, 2026, so our matchers
double your donation!!
