Tax Status: 501c3 Not-For-Profit Organization

The OWASP Foundation received its formal recognition by the U.S. Government of its 501c3 status on December 10, 2004. This not-for-proft status allows contributors to deduct any donations made to the OWASP Foundation.

Tax Deductability of Payments to OWASP
OWASP membership fees, OWASP conferences fees, OWASP conference sponsorships, and OWASP banner ads are not considered tax deductible donations due to the benefits the paying organization receives.

Direct donations to OWASP are fully tax deductible given OWASP's recognized U.S. not-for-profit status.
