The FSF is not flat broke.
- sedachv 10y agoFor some reason LF's latest available 990 return is from 2014. Relevant numbers for 2014: LF assets $20,915,947 total revenue $31,452,792 FSF assets $1,009,228 total revenue $1,110,148 https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460503801 https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460... https://static.fsf.org/nosvn/FinancialStatement_FY2014.pdf https://static.fsf.org/nosvn/FinancialStatement_FY2014.pdf Note that LF gets 99.9% of its revenue from "program services," which I assume is corporate sponsorship and the training programs they run. FSF gets $100,000 from mail-order merch and the rest from donations. Looking at the FSF patron list and price levels, it seems like the FSF get about half of their donations from corporate sponsors and half from individual sponsors: https://www.fsf.org/patrons https://www.fsf.org/patrons (One interesting thing is that Google stopped sponsoring the FSF in 2016.) The FSF is definitely underfunded, donate today if you have not donated recently: https://my.fsf.org/donate https://my.fsf.org/donate
