EmacsConf is a volunteer-run conference organized by a group of people
passionate about GNU Emacs and Emacs Lisp just like you! :-)

Your donations will help cover the costs for various parts of our
infrastructure, and help support and sustain EmacsConf year after
year.[*]

<p class="center"><a href="https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=70">❤️ Donate</a></p>

Your donations to EmacsConf are collected and held by our fiscal
sponsor the Free Software Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization with a worldwide mission to promote computer user
freedom, and are therefore tax-deductible in the United States.

We would like to acknowledge our donors by listing their names
on our **[[donors]]** page.

[*] Don't fret, EmacsConf is not in any financial trouble. :-)
Our costs have consistently been fairly low and paid out of pocket by
one of the organizers each year.  EmacsConf's main source of strength
has been our wonderful community, including our amazing volunteers
without whom EmacsConf would not have been as successful as it has
been.  Monetary donations are merely an additional avenue for folks
who feel extra generous and so inclined to help cover our
infrastructure costs and expenses, and we plan on brainstorming and
asking the community for suggestions and feedback for how to best
spend any excess funds we may collect to further give back to the
community.
