( It's called a 'non-profit' in the US. FYA, the word "charity" caused me to laugh at a CUP rep because they are anything but a "charity" :-) )

I used the word charity because that is what is used at the top of the page

The Racket Programming Language Foundation is registered in Delaware and is recognizes as a 501(3)(c) public charity in the US.

Thanks for making me check - I now see the typo 'recognizes'.

recognizes - recognized

failing check seems unrelated to change

pr to fix failure #375

“Public charity” is a technical term, more specific than “non-profit” or even “501(c)(3)” (which also includes “private foundations,” the default status): https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/public-charities

But I'm not sure it's necessary to restate all that: maybe just this?

Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

In case there's any question and it ever matters: Racket Programming Language Foundation really has been categorized by the IRS as a public charity (and not a private foundation).

‎www/rplf.html included in the PR because it is included in the repo - I'm not confident this is correct but better safe than sorry

These changes seem fine to me. The "501(c)(3)" part seems repeated more than necessary, but I have no strong objection.

We should remove www/rplf.html, since it's generated, and probably I added it accidentally. (It looks like community.html and irc-chat.html really are meant to be in the repo, in contrast.) I've pushed that additional change.
