How your donation is spent

Most of our budget goes to pay the salaries of students and staff members. Other expenses include travel to Arecibo and conferences, network bandwidth, hardware maintenance, and one-time purchases like the air conditioner in our machine room. Almost none of our budget is spent on hardware (desktop and server computers, disks, tapes, telescope electronics etc.); these items have been generously donated by corporate sponsors.


Important Information About Your Donation:

  • Only 2% of your donation goes to the University of California for overhead. 98% directly finances SETI@home operations.
  • SETI@home does not share its mailing list with any other organization.
  • US taxpayers: Your contribution is tax deductible.

    Important Notice to Non-US Donors:

    The conditions for tax deductibility described above may only be applied to taxes paid within the United States of America. For any other country or territory, the local legislation and/or International Conventions may sometimes allow the donor to benefit from similar local deductions, which would apply for the reasons of supporting educational projects and scientific research. The donor must verify himself if such cases may occur.
