您对freeCodeCamp所做的每笔捐款现在都可以免税 (Every donation you’ve ever made to freeCodeCamp is now tax deductible)

I launched freeCodeCamp in late 2014 as an open source project. On paper, freeCodeCamp was just me — a 30-something teacher coding in his closet — with no legal entity behind it.

我在2014年末启动了FreeCodeCamp，这是一个开源项目。 在纸面上，freeCodeCamp只是我—壁橱里有30多岁的老师在编码—背后没有法人实体。

But as millions of people started to use the learning platform, two things became clear:

但是随着数百万人开始使用学习平台，两件事变得清晰起来：

1. A lot of people were learning how to code through freeCodeCamp.org and the community that had sprung up around it. Thousands of people were getting their first developer jobs, and many more were getting raises and promotions as a result of their new skills.
   许多人正在学习如何通过freeCodeCamp.org和围绕它的社区进行编码。 成千上万的人正在获得第一份开发人员的工作，而更多的人由于他们的新技能而获得了加薪和晋升。
2. If some of these people could donate even a few dollars each month, we could afford to improve freeCodeCamp much faster than if I continued to pay for everything out of my own personal savings.
   如果其中一些人每个月甚至可以捐献几美元，我们可以负担得起改进freeCodeCamp的速度比我继续用自己的个人储蓄支付所有费用的速度要快得多。

So in early 2017, we formally registered freeCodeCamp as a US-based nonprofit and started accepting donations.

因此，在2017年初，我们正式将freeCodeCamp注册为美国的公益组织，并开始接受捐赠。

Today, more than 3,000 people donate to freeCodeCamp each month, providing us with a growing budget to pay for servers, wages, and other expenses.

今天，每个月有3,000多人向freeCodeCamp捐款，这为我们提供了越来越多的预算来支付服务器，工资和其他费用。

And yesterday, after a lengthy application process, the US Internal Revenue Service declared that freeCodeCamp is a public charity, and .

昨天，经过漫长的申请过程，美国国税局宣布freeCodeCamp为公共慈善机构，并 。

This is a huge milestone for the freeCodeCamp community. And its implications are huge.

对于freeCodeCamp社区而言，这是一个巨大的里程碑。 其影响是巨大的。

For starters: every donation that you all have ever made to freeCodeCamp — and all of your future donations — are now tax deductible.

对于初学者： 大家对freeCodeCamp所做的每笔捐款-以及将来的所有捐款-现在都可以免税。

freeCodeCamp的公共慈善身份对您意味着什么 (What freeCodeCamp’s public charity status means for you)

When you’re doing your 2017 US taxes, you may be able to reduce your total tax bill by claiming donations you made to freeCodeCamp in 2017 as deductions.

在执行2017年美国税收时，您可以通过声称您在2017年向freeCodeCamp进行的捐赠作为扣除额来减少总税款。

And any donations you make this year will be tax-deductible on your 2018 US taxes, as well.

您今年的任何捐款也将在2018年美国税款中扣除。

Also, If your employer has a donation matching program, you may be able to get them to match your donations to freeCodeCamp.

另外，如果您的雇主有捐赠匹配程序，您也许可以让他们将您的捐赠匹配到freeCodeCamp。

And if your employer has a volunteer hour match program, you may even be able to get paid for contributing your time and talent to the freeCodeCamp community. That’s right — your employer may let you work on freeCodeCamp while on the clock and getting paid.

而且，如果您的雇主设有志愿者小时竞赛计划，您甚至可以为freeCodeCamp社区贡献时间和才干而获得报酬。 没错-您的雇主可以让您在打卡并获得报酬的同时使用freeCodeCamp。

这对于更大的freeCodeCamp社区意味着什么 (What this means for the greater freeCodeCamp community)

Now that donations are tax deductible, even more people will be able to donate. This will give us more resources to pay for servers and create more learning resources. We’ll even have the resources to .

现在捐款可以免税，更多的人将能够捐款。 这将为我们提供更多资源来购买服务器并创建更多的学习资源。 我们甚至有资源 。

This may also give us new options for helping support the thousands of local freeCodeCamp study groups around the world.

这也可能为我们提供新的选择，以帮助支持全球成千上万的本地freeCodeCamp研究小组。
