Evergreen and Software Freedom Conservancy

Evergreen is a proud member of Software Freedom Conservancy, a not-for-profit organization that provides administrative & financial services for Open Source projects. Conservancy assists by handling all matters other than software development and documentation, so the community can focus on what we do best: improving the software for the public good.

Donations

Conservancy accepts donations on Evergreen's behalf. A portion of the money goes to Conservancy to cover their operating expenses. Note that Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) charity in the USA, so donations in the USA may be tax-deductible.

On-line donations between $20 and $1000 have the lowest fees. Smaller and larger ones are subject to significantly higher fees by PayPal and Google. Please consider a check or wire transfer for larger amounts.
