Dear Iain, Yes, QGIS has an entity: QGIS.ORG is the worldwide association of QGIS users and developers. QGIS.ORG is constituted as a Swiss ‘association’ (https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/charter.html) but it is not a registered charity.
To help support QGIS, organizations are invited to become sustaining members of QGIS.ORG. The details of our sustaining membership program are described in: https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/sustaining_members/sustaining_members.html You can also see who's already supporting QGIS: https://qgis.org/en/site/about/sustaining_members.html Regards, Anita On 15.04.2020 02:13, i...@jcis.net.au wrote:

The directors would be quite open to the idea. There are some questions I have. Is QGIS a registered charity? Is there an entity which we can donate to? What would be a suitable donation? Most business would write off ESRI products through their accounting system as some form of tax deduction as it is a something you can buy. A donation to QGIS by business would need to be structures in some way to obtain a similar benefit. Has anyone any experience in this area? Cheers *Dr Iain Stuart* */JCIS Consultants /* P.O.
