| Do any other computater algebra systems, e.g., Axiom, Magma, GAP, PARI, etc., have a foundation? |
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 are also very welcome to give a little back to help. |

| * GAP has [http://www.gap-system.org/Contacts/centres.html GAP Centers] and a [http://www.gap-system.org/Contacts/People/Council/council.html GAP Council]. The ''Council'' provides broad policy advice for the future development of GAP, among other things. (The Council chairman serves as the "editor" of the GAP webpages, though he is not the webmaster, and also as an "editor in chief" of the "GAP packages".) See the web pages for more details. The ''Centers'' are physical locations where GAP expertise is found (for example, St. Andrews). The developers located there are Council members and have several "possible tasks": (1) run GAP-related conferences, (2) use their local computer facilities to test and develop GAP, (3) try to raise money, ... .

The SageMath foundation was until June 2019 a donation account hosted by the University of Washington.
Making a donation is a nice way to express your appreciation of the work done by the SageMath developer community. Collected funds are fully available for sustaining SageMath, and no percentage go to anything else.
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 useful to support SageMath. Please contribute!
We gratefully acknowledge the support from our past donators.
How does this benefit to SageMath? |
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.
Is there an European side? |
For the moment, there is no similar donation account in Europe.
