General donations

General TUG contributions can be used for any purpose relevant to TUG. This includes but is not limited to the specific project donations; for example, they can also help cover our overhead. Use of general donations is ultimately approved by the TUG board as part of the budget.

Directed donations

In contrast, donations to the specific projects are 100% dedicated to those projects and never used for any other purpose. The principals of each project decide how the donations are spent; funds have been used to cover hosting costs, conference expenses, new equipment, etc. TUG takes no portion of project donations for overhead costs. If you would like to support a project not listed above, please contact us.

Here are the principals for each fund:

General: TUG Board
Bursary: TUG Bursary Committee
CTAN: CTAN team
Development fund: TeX Development Fund Committee
GUST e-foundry: e-foundry team, led by Bogusław Jackowski
LaTeX: LaTeX team, led by Frank Mittelbach
LyX: LyX team
MacTeX: MacTeX team, led by Dick Koch
PDF Accessibility: PDF accessibility working group, led by Boris Veytsman

Tax exempt in the US

Donations generally qualify for the income tax charitable deduction in the United States. TUG's tax ID number is 22-2868942. More details on TUG's tax-exempt charitable status. Some employers will match donations to nonprofits, so please check with yours if appropriate.

Many thanks to all our past donors.

Thanks again for your consideration.
