Donate to the PSF!
The Python Software Foundation needs money to support our mission. This includes holding and defending the intellectual property rights for Python, running PyCon annually, and funding Python related development with our grants program.
We welcome contributions from both organizations and individuals.
- Donate by credit card. We accept MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. Note: For amounts greater than $1,300.00, paying by wire transfer or check will get more of your donation to the PSF.
- Send a personal check, money order, or bank check to the PSF headquarters. We prefer checks in US$ but can also accept other currencies for donations valued $20 or more (unfortunately, fees on conversions are substantial). If you would like a receipt emailed to you, please include your email address along with your check.
- For donations valued $50 or more, we can also accept electronic wire transfers (again, fees are substantial). Please see Wire Transfer Info for details.
- You may also Donate through PayPal.
For US taxpayers, donors may deduct contributions to the PSF as provided in Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code. The PSF has been recognized as a public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. (See the exemption letter for details.) You should consult your tax adviser for rules as they apply to your situation.
Donations to the PSF are currently not tax-deductible in most other countries; most countries require an organisation to be incorporated in that country (or in the EU, for EU member states), and the PSF does currently not have the resources to do so.
If you have a question about donations, please write to the Public Support Committee (psc@python.org).
Donors
The PSF would like to thank the following donors for their contributions. Donors are listed in descending order using an algorithm that takes into account both the amount of donation and the age of the donation. If you want to move up the list, donate lots of money frequently. <wink>
