How many of you are associate members of the FSF? http://member.fsf.org
I'd like to see a like to see them and other worthy groups mentioned by the BRLUG FAQ. Right now, question 5 is: "5. Do I have to pay dues to become a member? No. The user group is free to everyone. In fact, we refuse any type of monetary contributions." It would be easy to add, "If you feel like supporting Linux and free software consider joining the FSF, buying a distribution or donating to any of the following groups." There are only about 2,000 FSF associate members and membership is their primary funding. 2,000 members translates roughly to a $20,000/month budget. That's substantial, but you can imagine it would be eaten quickly by rent, support staff and projects like GNU, GPL compliance and all that entails.
