New donation page

In addition to those donating computer time, we have been very grateful to people who have also donated funds to the Folding@home project.  These funds have been important in purchasing equipment (eg servers) or services (eg professional programmers) that are traditionally difficult to purchase from grants from NIH or NSF.

In coordination with Stanford's development office, Stanford has made a special donation page just for Folding@home:

http://pgnet.stanford.edu/goto/foldinggift

This new web page makes donating funds to Folding@home a lot easier, since one does not have to do input special codes to make sure that the funds are directed to Folding@home. 

Stanford is a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity and thus a donation of money to Folding@home is tax deductible. Stanford's Federal Tax ID number is 94-1156365. Also, many companies help individuals donate to Stanford by providing matching funds. 

You can learn more details at our Donation page:

I saw on your Stats Page that in 2009 you are planning a server upgrade.

What kind of server(s) are you buying in 2009 for this upgrade? (Be Specific, I'm a Systems Admin).

I am wondering because if, by chance, they are close to what we use at my place of business, I may be able to drum up a donation of hardware that you can use to offset your costs for the new servers.

Can I find out if donations are Tax-deductible from my non-US country (eg. Australia) ?

Yeah this would fit perfect with Bill Gates Foundation considering Bill's background.

The donation page say : "Your last Make a Gift session did not complete properly. No gift was made. Please start over." everytimes I try to give some funds for the folding@home project (by following the "http://pgnet.stanford.edu/goto/foldinggift" link in the post), and there's no "folding" or anything like that in the list "Please select the school or group to which you wish to make a gift" on the page who display this message.

Perhaps I make some mistakes.

It was a temporary problem, I've retry 3 times in the next hours after my post, and the third was the good one ! ( I've just received the confirmation )
