As a 501(3)(c) public charity in the US, donations are fully tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

( It's called a 'non-profit' in the US. FYA, the word "charity" caused me to laugh at a CUP rep because they are anything but a "charity" :-) )

I used the word charity because that is what is used at the top of the page

The Racket Programming Language Foundation is registered in Delaware and is recognizes as a 501(3)(c) public charity in the US.

Thanks for making me check - I now see the typo 'recognizes'.

recognizes - recognized

failing check seems unrelated to change

“Public charity” is a technical term, more specific than “non-profit” or even “501(c)(3)” (which also includes “private foundations,” the default status): https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/public-charities

But I'm not sure it's necessary to restate all that: maybe just this?

Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

In case there's any question and it ever matters: Racket Programming Language Foundation really has been categorized by the IRS as a public charity (and not a private foundation).
