How do I donate?

The BSD Certification Group needs your support! Ongoing exam development and maintenance costs are substantial and can only be completed with generous donations from sponsors and many interested individuals. A breakdown of our costs and revenue can be found in the Annual Reports section of the BSDCG page.

Tax Deduction?

On October 9, 2005 the BSD Certification Group Inc. was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in the state of New Jersey, USA. An application was made for 501(c)(3) status. The original IRS ruling was for 501(c)(6) status, meaning we can not issue tax deductible donation receipts at this time. Another application for tax deductible status may be made in the future.

Be sure to check with a tax professional regarding your specific situation about donations to the BSD Certification Group.

Thanks for your generous support!
