Hi, I'm Cathy Casserly, the CEO of Creative Commons. I have some exciting news: The Brin-Wojcicki Foundation is offering Creative Commons a big boost as 2011 wraps up. The Foundation has generously offered to match dollar-for-dollar all donations up to $100,000 through December 25th. Help CC claim the full $100k, while showing your support for openness and sharing on the Internet. Go ahead, donate today!

You may choose to maximize the impact of your donation to CC by not receiving gifts. You will still receive all non-material benefits (CC Network profile, OpenID) available at your giving level.

If you are unable to donate via Paypal or Google Checkout, please send an email to development@creativecommons.org for alternative payment methods.

Why does Creative Commons run an annual fundraising campaign? What is the money used for and where does it go?

Badge

This badge/profile combo shows the world you support Free Culture, allows us to help identify you on license deeds, and helps authenticate your authorship. Place this badge on the CC-licensed works you create, identifying you as a member of the CC Network. When someone clicks on it, it takes them to your CC Network user profile — a place where you can list all of your licensed works.

OpenID Account

Your CC Network profile acts as an OpenID. OpenID allows you to log into many sites without exposing your credentials to them. Creative Commons' OpenID implementation puts privacy first, read how here.
