Frequently asked questions about donations

Q: How do I make a donation?

Just click on a donation button above and you'll be taken to a page where you can enter your credit card or PayPal account information and the amount you wish to donate.

Q: Why should I donate?

There are lots of reasons to donate:

• because you'll be helping to support continued PmWiki development
• because you or your organization benefit from PmWiki
• because you like the idea of supporting open source projects
• because unlike most commercial software packages, you get to decide what the product is worth to you
• because you can have your name associated with the other outstanding people on our DonationsPage

Q: How much should I donate?

The amount is entirely up to you. If PmWiki has made your life on the web better or easier, then you can best judge what that's worth. No donation is too small or too large.

Q: Is my donation tax-deductible?

Probably not, at least in the U.S. Neither Patrick Michaud nor pmichaud.com are non-profit entities permitted to provide tax exemptions by the U.S. government. If you live outside of the U.S., you'll have to consult your local tax laws and/or a tax attorney to know for sure.

Q: Can I contribute if I live outside of the U.S.?

Sure! PayPal is able to accept contributions from many different countries, and automatically handles currency conversions on your behalf.

Q: What if I don't want to use PayPal or Amazon to send money?

Q: What if I want to send something other than money?
