Wait, so if somebody goes to WordPress.org, clicks the donate button, arrives at a page to donate to the WordPress Foundation, and donates, that money does not go towards funding WordPress.org?
The blurb on the donation page reads:
> Money raised by the WordPress Foundation will be used to ensure free access to supported software projects, protect the WordPress trademark, and fund a variety of programs.
“Supported software projects” is a link that leads to a page that lists these software projects:
- WordPress
- WordPress Plugins
- WordPress Themes
- bbPress
- BuddyPress
It sure looks like the WordPress infra and plugins are supported by the donations from the WordPress.org footer link. If the money is going elsewhere, where is it going?
