We're happy to report that the D Language Foundation is now a public charity operating under US Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The decision is retroactive to September 23, 2015. This has wide-ranging implications, the most important being that individuals and organizations may make tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers, or gifts to the Foundation. We will mull over defining donation and sponsorship packages in the near future. If interesting in donating spontaneously, feel free to reach out to us via email at foundation dlang.org. Many thanks are due to the folks in this community who asked for and supported this initiative. Thanks, Andrei

Andrei, This is splendid news for the purveying of the D Programming language. =C2=A0The question is though: this covers the USA what about the Rest of th= e World? For the language itself it is almost irrelevant where the owning foundation is located as long as it is a charitable venture in its jusridiction of incorporation. However for financial issues, the jurisdiction is critical. Getting USA-wide charitable status is great, well-done on that, particularly in the context of the atitude of IRS to charitable foundations a couple of years ago. However the EU and other parts of the world will not be covered by this, and I am not sure there is any form of reciprocal arrangement.=C2=A0 On Mon, 2016-08-29 at 13:03 -0400, Andrei Alexandrescu via Digitalmars- d-announce wrote:We're happy to report that the D Language Foundation is now a public=C2==A0charity operating under US Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).

From what I can tell PSF has't bothered to solve this, it is a USA organisation for USA people. Also I think donations are in US$, which means non-US$ donors bear the conversion cost. Someone has to because the banks are not charities, but it is annoying that non US$ donations get "taxed" twice.=C2=A0 --=20 Russel. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder ekiga.n= et 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
