My company has a match program and I want to donate money to a good opensource cause and/or Linux itself.<p>It seems like the linux foundation would be a good cause, but my company program does not have a profile for that 503c and I cannot find details on their website on how to donate.<p>Anyone has any tips and/or can help me?
Consider seeing if the particular pieces of software you use have their own donation system, then donate there. A donation to a smaller project could have a very large impact on its future.<p>The Linux Foundation is carried by billion-dollar companies and that's also the interests it serves, from what Icm hearing. I wouldn't worry about its survival.
The right name for "linux" is GNU/Linux. Initially Linux was just a kernel, with lots of free software from FSF. You can donate to FSF at <a href="https://www.fsf.org/about/ways-to-donate/" rel="nofollow">https://www.fsf.org/about/ways-to-donate/</a>
the linux foundation is not a 501(c)(3), it's a 501(c)(6). contributions to it are not deductible, so probably not eligible for your employer's matching program.
