Donate to the PSF!

The Python Software Foundation needs money to support our mission. The money currently goes primarily toward holding the intellectual property rights for Python and building a program to fund future Python development. We welcome contributions from both organizations and individuals. You may use a credit card to make a donation through PayPal. You may also send a check drawn on a US bank to the PSF headquarters.

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).
