Financing open source using tax breaks on donations made to endowment funds or general interest associations is a construct available in France and a viable alternative to R&D expenditures for sponsoring open source projects. We will present several initiatives from the Libre Endowment Fund ("Fonds de Dotation du Libre" in French) - from financing feature development of open source software to releasing a 4G/5G base station as open source hardware or supporting litigation against the French government's decision to host Health Data on Microsoft servers.
