LLVM Becomes A 501(c)(3) Non-Profit
Last year Apple spun off LLVM into its own foundation so this leading open-source compiler stack can be treated as its own entity. Today the project announced they've been granted 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Status by the US IRS.
The LLVM Foundation is now officially a public charity with tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3). Companies (and individuals) can now donate to LLVM and receive a full tax deduction.
The LLVM Foundation's mission is described as, "provide accessible and informative educational tools for the LLVM Project and compiler technology to the general public. These educational tools include events such as the annual LLVM Developers' meeting. The LLVM Foundation also gives grants or scholarships to other nonprofit organizations and individuals (such as student travel to LLVM Foundation events). Lastly, the LLVM Foundation funds the infrastructure necessary to support the LLVM Project."
The announcement was posted a few minutes ago to the LLVM blog.
