Picn*x 17 Sponsor Information

Renting the space in the park and providing free food is not cheap, so we rely on the generosity of sponsors to make the event a success. If you would like your company (or yourself) to be a sponsor of Picn*x XVI please contact us at sponsor@linuxpicnic.org and describe how you would like to help. Donations are tax-deductible as charitable donations now that the IRS has granted 501(c)3 status. Send donations to:

Linux Picnic is 501(c)3 now

The Linux Picnic was granted 501(c)3 tax-exempt status by the IRS in 2007, retroactive to March 2006, via our non-profit umbrella corporation The South Bay Community Network, Inc..

Donations to the Linux Picnic are now tax-deductible in the US. Volunteer out-of-pocket expenses which are not reimbursed are deductible from the volunteer's taxes. However be careful because expenses which are reimbursed are not considered your expenses any more - it can only be one way or the other, not both.
