### If I donate financially, where do my donations go?

The D Languages Foundation awards scholarships to highly skilled students. Each $5 you donate contributes to approximately one hour of work by a talented graduate student, and these hours add quickly toward important projects that further the state of the art in the D programming language.

If you have a specific target or project that you wish to directly support, please contact the D Language Foundation.

By the Foundation bylaws, its officers (Walter Bright, Andrei Alexandrescu and Ali Çehreli) cannot get income from the Foundation, which preempts a variety of conflicts of interest.

### The D Language Foundation is a non-profit organization

For US taxpayers, contributions to the D Language Foundation are tax-deductible. The D Language Foundation is a 501(c) non-profit public charity registered in the state of Washington, USA. You should consult your tax adviser for rules as they apply to your situation.

Donations to the D Language Foundation are currently not tax-deductible in most other countries as they require an organisation to be incorporated in that country and the D Language Foundation does currently not have the resources to do so.

If you have a question about donations, please write to the D Language Foundation at foundation@dlang.org.
