# Donations

DragonFly is not yet incorporated as a non-profit, meaning no tax benefit is 
available for donating time or goods to the project.  However, developers can 
still use your contributed hardware and you can make non-tax-deductible donations through PayPal.


## Donating money

You can use the donate-button to make a non-tax-deductible donation through PayPal. The money received will be used to fund future hardware acquisitions by the project, code bounties and/or contract development and potentially to defer other ongoing costs. Matthew Dillon maintains primary ownership of this account.

## Hardware Donations

Please email donations at dragonflybsd.org to make a request or when a request is filled, so 
that we may update this page.  Requestors on this page should have at least one 
accepted contribution to DragonFly.

Donors, please contact the requestor directly (and CC: 
donations at dragonflybsd.org).  You and the donating/receiving party must 
independently resolve any delivery issues.  The DragonFly BSD Project is 
not responsible for any transactions.  

Some tips on sending donated equipment through the mail: Mailing materials out of 
the country usually requires some sort of customs declaration.  State clearly 
on any customs form that the equipment is used, is a gift to an individual and 
not a business, and the value of the equipment (usually less than $50 USD).  
Adding www.dragonflybsd.org as a reference can also help, as this provides 
additional information for a curious customs officDonationser.  It also may help to 
repeat that information in a letter inside the packaging, in case it is opened 
or damaged.

### DragonFly BSD Developers seeking donations

* [josepht](mailto://josepht@dragonflybsd.org) - SSD - Donation received from Jeremy Chadwick.  Many thanks Jeremy!
* [alexh](mailto://alexh@dragonflybsd.org) - Hard disk with 4K native (4Kn) sector size, i.e. one that actually reports a block size of 4k (not the EARS drives from WD) to implement support in DragonFly. They might not even exist yet?
