Less than $5,000 to go, we're so close to completing our match. Just a few hours left to get your donation doubled ๐Ÿคฉ to support software freedom. Any amount helps, so if it's within your means, please consider donating today!

The scale of what @conservancy is able to accomplish given it's resources is truly impressive. I personally really appreciate the support they provide to their member projects. I bet most people on fedi would recognize at least a few names: https://sfconservancy.org/projects/current/

$5,883 left to match! All donations for the rest of the day are doubled. And if you become a Sustainer, you'll receive our limited edition 2024 tshirt designed by @niktrip

You can proudly represent your support for software freedom for all of 2024!!

At the conference last year, I learned about the important work @conservancy does for the community.

So, I decided to be an annual sustainer this year.

They're really close to their goal this year and the matching program ends today. If you've got the spare cash, think about donating.

@conservancy is very close to their fundraising goal. But only have today to reach it. Please help them reach their goal, so they can help us all get even more Software Freedom this year.

They did a fantastic job of being the fiscal sponsor of @sourceware. Thanks! And they are the fiscal sponsor of a lot of essential Free Software projects.

We've got just $6,759 left to go! Time to dig into the couch cushions, cup holders and CD-ROM drives for change. Every dollar helps immensely and we're so close to our goal!

I'm most proud about @conservancy that we just keep doing concrete things to improve the state of software freedom. We do a lot of advocacy and philosophy, but *talk is, as they say, cheap. We don't necessarily do the best job of promoting our work because we're so focused on the *doing*, but every month it's more and more, from writing to government agencies, to supporting our member projects, to our law suit to supporting @outreachy internships.

Fediverse! You've done an incredible job getting our number down to $12,233! Can we raise that today? I think we can!

We don't have tote bags or mugs, but we do have t-shirts for our Sustainers, and, most importantly, every donation is a step forward for ! We are a lean organization - no development staff, just people who care so much about free software that work as hard as we can to make real incremental progress every day for this cause.

I could boost @karen once again today, but I want to personally endorse Software Freedom Conservancy. IMHO, it's one of the best organizations for supporting free/open software today.

I'm a proud supporter, and if you make use of FOSS (and I guess you probably do if you're reading this), and you have a little cash, this is a good way to go.

They are currently raising funds on for a matching-funds offer, and are close to their goal:

You can read an interview with one of our matching funders here, Eli (and Oliver the baby born during FOSSY!) Voigt: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2024/jan/15/supporter-interview-with-elij-and-oliver/

The real perk is the cute picture of Oliver ๐Ÿฅฐ

Today is the last day of @conservancy 's match challenge and we still have about $15k to raise. I'm going to make some posts NPR style today until we make progress against our goal! At this point, all amounts help move the bar and make getting to our goal attainable! I'm using so folks can skip these posts if they want to!

We've only got $15,000 left to get matched in our fundraiser. Now is the time to squeeze your last minute donations in to have them doubled!

You can follow our microblogging drive and contribute your own memories and aspirations for @conservancy using #SFCdrive

Thanks to @sjvn for highlighting our Executive Director @karen's story. It's important to remember how technology policy directly affects our lives and why free software is an important right for everyone!
