FireFTP Charity Project

Where does this money go?

Half of all proceeds go towards helping orphans in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina. I spend my summers with these little guys and they are seriously the best kids in the world. However, the country they're growing up in is, well, still in a pretty horrible state. Your donation goes towards making this world that these little brothers and sisters of mine are living in a better place.

Where the other half goes: This year my family and I have been able to adopt one of the children from the orphanage. (He's the cute little kid in the photo to the right.) So your donations also go towards helping support this new addition to our family and helping me continue providing support for FireFTP!

What's a reasonable donation?

Even $1 is enough to show your appreciation - give what you can. Most FTP programs run about $40 US dollars, so you are getting quite a bargain here... :-)

If you are a business, using FireFTP for professional endeavors, you should consider donating at least $20. If you are using several copies of the program in your company you should perhaps pay an additional $5 for each copy. In the end, pay what you feel is fair.

What if I don't have a PayPal account?

Make checks payable to Mime Čuvalo. My address is:

Can I make a donation directly to the orphanage?

Sure! Email me at mimecuvalo@gmail.com and I'll send you the details.

Is this tax-deductible on my income taxes?

While donations are not US tax deductible as charitable contribution, they may be deductible as an operating expense, and if someone is so inclined, they should ask for the advice of their accountant. The same applies to other countries, where corporations can make deductible donations under the terms of "Good Will". I specifically am not a non-profit organization, as that would limit the nationalities that I could spend such money in.
