Yes! At my job I've setup a per-paycheck donation to LE because they have saved me so much time (apache, nginx and caddy automagic SSL) and in the long run it'll probably still be cheaper than buying one of the SSL certs from the other companies.

Our company made a small donation of $25 per month. https://letsencrypt.org/donate/

It is a small token of how much time they saved us from setting up ssl for our clients. These small monthly donations can add up help them thrive in the future.

That's wonderful! How does your company write that off? Is it a business expense? I know a lot of companies don't really care to "donate" for various reasons, am wondering why your company is so willing when it is not required.

Maybe LE should set up subscriptions for some small service (priority support?), just to give companies a deductible reason to donate.

This. Everything is easier with an invoice; Accountants and tax inspectors are always suspicious about donations with only an email as a confirmation. It's a point patio11 already made in the past about OSS.

It sounds like your company should be the ones donating! Kudos to you either way and I agree, with how easy this has become compared to other solutions I have no problem donating to them.

That's the great part, my company matches my donation!
