in reply to Could PerlMonks use some cash?
Donating to TPF will result in your money being put to good use and it is tax deductible. Personally, I want more control over who and/or what my money goes to. While the TPF donation structure is changing to support more focused donations, it doesn't yet satisfy my taste. For this reason, I hang out here, on #perl, #perl6, and #parrot. When I hear of a stalled project or person due to lack of funds, I make arrangements to make a financial contribution directly. It results in no tax break, but I feel better about knowing where and how I made a difference.
Some companies, such as Stonehenge Consulting owned by merlyn, privately fund people to work on stuff. If there is a specific project that your company benefits from, perhaps that is what you might want to do. No matter what you and your company decide, the community will benefit from the contribution so if you can - give.
It feels good.
Cheers - L~R
