Probably need a tad of clarification on what is above.

If sending a check, it needs to be made out to : "Software in the
Public Interest"

In the Memo area of the paper check: "Attention: PostgreSQL Fund"

They also have an option to donate via Credit Card (AMEX, VISA, MC or
Discover).
If you go this route, you can specify how to direct the funds. Note
that they nick the amount by 3%.
They also have a Bank wire option within the site.

Thanks,
Mike
