+====== Donating to the SDF Public Access UNIX System ======
+To quote the [[http://sdf.lonestar.org/index.cgi?faq?BASICS|SDF FAQ]]
+> The Super Dimension Fortress is a networked community of free software authors, teachers, students, researchers, hobbyists, enthusiasts and the blind. It is operated as a federally recognized non-profit [[wp>501(c)_organization#501(c)(7)|501(c)(7)]] and is supported by its members. Their mission is to provide remotely accessible computing facilities for the advancement of public education, cultural enrichment, scientific research, and recreation. Members can interact electronically with one another regardless of their location using passive or interactive forums.
+To learn more about SDF, its history, and its mission, you can read
+  * [[http://sdf.org/index.cgi?faq|The SDF FAQ]]
+  * [[wp>SDF_Public_Access_Unix_Network|SDF's Wikipedia Entry]]
+The best way to learn about SDF is to [[https://sdf.org/|join]] (Create a Free UNIX Shell Account), review [[http://sdf.org/index.cgi?access|access]] ((Type '//arpa//', or '//meta//', at the SDF shell ('//arpa//', or '//meta//') for details.)) ((The wiki //[[membership_levels | Membership levels]]// page should match Membership levels on the main website's [[https://sdf.org/?join | Join]] page.)), and then [[https://sdf.org/?subscribe|participate]].
+Unlike [[wp>Public_Broadcasting_Service|American Public Broadcasting]], [[wp>Mozilla_Firefox|The Mozilla Foundation]], and other popular non-profits, there are currently no large corporate sponsors of SDF. This means that it depends entirely on support from individuals like you.
+//SDF's 501<nowiki>(c)</nowiki>(7) status means that donations to it are //not// tax-deductible.//
