> Donations are not tax-deductible

> Because we are a 501(c)(6), OSC is not a registered 501(c)(3) charity; donations to hosted member projects are not tax-deductible. This is consistent with IRS guidelines — open source donations aren't automatically classified as charitable simply because they are FOSS.

> If your project has a clear charitable purpose, a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor may be a good fit.
