Software in the Public Interest (SPI) is a non-profit corporation founded to act as a fiscal sponsor for organizations that develop open source software and hardware.

[SPI] handles several projects of similar type and size (e.g., Arch and Debian).

Seems a good thing, and hopefully now that US donations are tax-deductible there'll be more of them.

As someone who uses both Debian & Gentoo, this is good news!

"Software in the Public Interest (SPI) is a non-profit corporation founded to act as a fiscal sponsor for organizations that develop open source software and hardware. It provides services such as accepting donations, holding funds and assets, … SPI qualifies for 501(c)(3) (U.S. non-profit organization) status. This means that all donations made to SPI and its supported projects are tax deductible for donors in the United States."
