When companies donate as PyCon sponsors (and get brand recognition) do those donations also go to PSF?
You can add the **Python Software Foundation** to a Charity Navigator "Giving Basket" and get one receipt: https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.profile&ein=043594598 "Charity Navigator's Methodology" https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=5593#rating Is there any way to donate cryptocurrency to PSF yet? All of these orgs accept BTC donations: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Donation-accepting_organizations_and_projects Just sending to an address doesn't get you a receipt for tax purposes; there are firms that support donations by exchanging for USD at that time and depositing to the configured account.
