DragonFly is not yet incorporated as a non-profit, meaning no tax benefit is available for donating time or goods to the project. However, developers can still use your contributed hardware.
Please email donations at dragonflybsd.org to make a request or when a request is filled, so that we may update this page. Requestors on this page should have at least one accepted contribution to DragonFly.
Donors, please contact the requestor directly (and CC: donations at dragonflybsd.org). You and the donating/receiving party must independently resolve any delivery issues. The DragonFly BSD Project is not responsible for any transactions.
Some tips on sending donated equipment through the mail: Mailing materials out of the country usually requires some sort of customs declaration. State clearly on any customs form that the equipment is used, is a gift to an individual and not a business, and the value of the equipment (usually less than $50 USD). Adding www.dragonflybsd.org as a reference can also help, as this provides additional information for a curious customs officer. It also may help to repeat that information in a letter inside the packaging, in case it is opened or damaged.
