The Centers are physical locations where GAP expertise is found (for example, St. Andrews).

The SageMath Foundation aims to collect funds to help the development of SageMath.
People that use and enjoy SageMath are encouraged to make a donation to the SageMath Foundation. People that have used SageMath in their research work and have some available money from their grants are also very welcome to give a little back to help.
To make a donation, go here (thank you!).
The SageMath foundation is for the moment just a donation account hosted by the University of Washington. Collected funds are fully available for sustaining SageMath.
Who is in charge? |
The people currently in charge of the SageMath Foundation are William Stein and John Palmieri.
How much money is collected? |
For the moment, not much, but this is already very useful to support SageMath. Please contribute!
How does this benefit to sage ? |
The money has been used in the past to support workshops closely related to SageMath, in particular some "Women in Sage" workshops. This has also funded the SageMath booth at some mathematical conferences.
In principle, money can be used to support students, visitors, purchase of equipment, workshops.
