The only connection between GnuCash and the Gnu Foundation is the first three 
letters in the names. The Gnu Foundation is "a private, non-profit charitable 
organization with the mission to provide the extreme poor and most vulnerable 
the financial tools needed – grants, micro loans, business training and other 
resources – to help them work their way out of poverty.” 
(https://www.gnufoundation.org/who-we-are).

GnuCash is also unconnected to the Free Software Foundation, home of the GNU’s 
Not Unix project and the GNU General Public License, except that we use that 
license. The Free Software Foundation is also a 501c3.

The GnuCash team has no corporate identity so isn’t eligible for chapter 501 
tax exemption so contributions to GnuCash are not tax deductible.

Regards,
John Ralls
