In the articles and/or memorandum of association which are on the site 
somewhere, though the fact that it is a company limited by guarantee 
makes it non-profit anyway as there are no shareholders to pay dividends to.

What may be confusing some people is that the UK doesn't really have the 
concept of a non-profit that some jurisdictions have, so there is no 
special tax status for companies limited by guarantee. Only registered 
charities get special tax status and registering as a charity is much 
more onerous than just forming a non-profit company.

"For more information about the OpenStreetMap Foundation’s non-profit
status, the Treasurer’s Report, or other questions, click here."

-> http://foundation.openstreetmap.org/

"The OpenStreetMap Foundation  is an international non-profit
organisation supporting but not controlling the project.  It is
dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of
free geospatial data and to providing geospatial data for anybody to use
and share.

OpenStreetMap Foundation was incorporated by the registrar of companies
for England and Wales on August 22nd, 2006 as a company limited by
guarantee. The company registration number is 5912761."

And where is the info on the non-profit status?

The current DB server is badly overload. The 3x frontend API servers are 
limited back as not to overload the current DB server.

The upgraded DB server is estimated will last us at least a year using 
our current growth pattern. At that stage we could then upgrade the 
hardware further or redeploy the server elsewhere in the project.

What about making the link to the Live Donor List 
 a bit bigger and noticeable.

How much room to grow do these hardware specs give us?
