Document how you spend donations and whether donations are tax-deductible

[kevinburke]

I am happy to support Homebrew. I think your "Contribute" link on the brew.sh homepage would be more effective, and more helpful, if it contained the following information:

• Where does the money go? To a person, who distributes it? To a 501(c)(3)? To the maintainers according to some formula?
• What would you be able to do with more funds?
• Are donations tax deductible in the US? My guess is they are not. But it would be helpful to know for sure.

The SFC 501c3 as noted in https://github.com/homebrew/brew#donations.

• What would you be able to do with more funds?

We'd rather not document this right now to avoid being limited by it in future.

• Are donations tax deductible in the US? My guess is they are not. But it would be helpful to know for sure.

Yes as documented in https://github.com/homebrew/brew#donations.
