Well, they do, but Update is not one. We are tax exempt, as a
non-profit organisation, in some ways but I don't think it extends to
our donors unfortunately.
Ultimately it probably comes down to tax laws in your country.

Is Update classed as a charity? The reason I ask
is that the company who employ me have a philanthropy arm that enables me to direct a
share of the funds as donations.
I push various sums to computer museums a few times a year.
