Team Cymru Research Secures Tax Exempt Status
Team Cymru is immensely proud to announce that Team Cymru Research NFP has today been formally designated a US Federal 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Team Cymru's CEO, Rob Thomas stated "This is both a testament to, and an acknowledgment of, the long term contribution that our organization continues to make to the community and the Internet worldwide. The tax implications for our partners are significant, this new status will enable donations to go further and the good work we do together to impact more folks in meaningful ways".
Partners from around the world have been contributing with donations of time, money, bandwidth, data and equipment. They have been working in true partnership to help us focus on what is important.
Our wide global perspective, coupled with this new tax exempt status, makes Team Cymru the only place to come to for the insight our partners need to protect what matters to them.
