| 1 | DragonFly is not yet incorporated as a non-profit, meaning no tax benefit is |
| 2 | available for donating time or goods to the project. However, developers can |
| 3 | still use your contributed hardware and you can make non-tax-deductible donations through PayPal. |

| 6 | ## Donating money |
| 7 | |
| 8 | 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. |

| 24 | ## Hardware Donations |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Please email donations at dragonflybsd.org to make a request or when a request is filled, so |
| 27 | that we may update this page. Requestors on this page should have at least one |
| 28 | accepted contribution to DragonFly. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Donors, please contact the requestor directly (and CC: |
| 31 | donations at dragonflybsd.org). You and the donating/receiving party must |
| 32 | independently resolve any delivery issues. The DragonFly BSD Project is |
| 33 | not responsible for any transactions. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Some tips on sending donated equipment through the mail: Mailing materials out of |
| 36 | the country usually requires some sort of customs declaration. State clearly |
| 37 | on any customs form that the equipment is used, is a gift to an individual and |
| 38 | not a business, and the value of the equipment (usually less than $50 USD). |
| 39 | Adding www.dragonflybsd.org as a reference can also help, as this provides |
| 40 | additional information for a curious customs officer. It also may help to |
| 41 | repeat that information in a letter inside the packaging, in case it is opened |
| 42 | or damaged. |

| 47 | * [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? |
