Hey Thor,

I wish to donate, and can give money twice a year to charities and 
foundations that are registered with the IRS and give tax-deductible 
receipts.

However, I unfortunately need to satisfy our accountants before I can 
begin adding NetBSD to the list of organisations I donate to, and 
therefore I need a Federal Tax ID, a postal address, and (helpfully) a 
contact person.

I wrote to finance-exec@netbsd.org but haven't heard back yet. Ideas on 
who I should talk to?

Thank you in advance. :)
