    Dear {recipient},

    Given the appreciable business value we have derived from Python and its related scientific tooling over the last few years, at no direct cost to the company, would there be room for {company} to contribute financially to the 501(c)(3) organizations that support these tools?

    • Python Software Foundation (supporting the Python language itself): https://www.python.org/psf/
    o Q4 2020 funding drive: https://www.python.org/psf/donations/2020-q42020-drive/
    • NumFOCUS (supporting nearly all of the scientific packages leveraged in {company} work): https://numfocus.org/
    o Currently have an end-of-2020 fundraiser running with a 100% sponsored match: https://numfocus.org/donate-eoy-2020

    To note, both organizations have corporate sponsorship programs, which provide defined benefits in exchange for contributions of various sizes:

    • Python Software Foundation: https://www.python.org/psf/sponsorship/
    • NumFOCUS: https://numfocus.org/sponsors/become-a-sponsor


    I understand if this would not be possible, but I thought I’d inquire.


    Thanks,

    {sender}
