+			Friends of GNOME is a way for individuals to support the GNOME project's
+			mission of providing a free and open source desktop for everyone
+			regardless of ability. With no advertising or outreach, the foundation raised
+			anywhere from $6,000 to $20,000 a year from generous individuals. That
+			money has contributed to the funds for hackfests, local events and
+			programs which in turn have enabled the GNOME project to create an
+			internationalized, accessible and easy to use desktop software for both
+			traditional desktops and for mobile devices.
