+The FreeBSD Foundation[[development-foundation]]::
+The link:https://freebsdfoundation.org[FreeBSD Foundation] is a 501(c)(3), US-based, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and promoting the FreeBSD Project and community worldwide.
+The Foundation funds software development via project grants and provides staff to immediately respond to urgent problems and implement new features and functionality.
+The Foundation purchases hardware to improve and maintain FreeBSD infrastructure, and funds staffing to improve test coverage, continuous integration and automation.
+The Foundation advocates for FreeBSD by promoting FreeBSD at technical conferences and events around the world.
+The Foundation also provides workshops, educational material, and presentations to recruit more users and contributors to FreeBSD.
+The Foundation also represents the FreeBSD Project in executing contracts, license agreements, and other legal arrangements that require a recognized legal entity.

 Outside contributors::
 Last, but definitely not least, the largest group of developers are the users themselves who provide feedback and bug fixes to us on an almost constant basis.
 The primary way of keeping in touch with FreeBSD's more non-centralized development is to subscribe to the {freebsd-hackers} where such things are discussed.
