The process of applying for charitable status is challenging, and especially so for open source organizations, which frequently receive denials. Working together with our attorneys, we prepared an application that explained what Typelevel does and why this work is charitable, citing the unique innovations of our projects, our participation in conferences and mentoring programs, and our commitment to open collaboration.
A big part of our faith is charity. The center donates annually to numerous causes such as natural disaster aid, libraries, teacher organizations and Second Harvest of Silicon Valley food bank, demonstrating commitment to broader community support beyond immediate congregational needs.
