In the Google search settings: "Specify whether your organization's search engine is eligible to not show advertising on results pages. Eligible organizations include those organizations recognized as exempt from taxation under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Outside of the U.S., this is available to charitable organizations as defined under country-specific regulations or requirements. [] Show ads on results pages. [] Do not show ads on results pages. By clicking here, I confirm that my organization is eligible based on the definition above, and I understand that Google may request proof of tax exempt or charitable status and disable this feature if Google is not able to confirm my organization's status." On http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html#tax-status The Apache Software Foundation is a private operating foundation that is registered as a non-profit, charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
