+<p>The Tor Project is always looking for services relating to bandwidth, colocation, hosted services, legal representation, or technical consulting.  By donating services, you join our <a href="<page sponsors>">many sponsors</a> in providing online privacy and anonymity.  We're currently looking for scalable hosting services for reporting needs from large data sets and reliable high-bandwidth hosting.  We may have hardware we can provide you for your service donation.</p>
+<p>Can you write code?  We're always looking for smart, motivated coders to either port Tor to new or old operating systems, or solve difficult online anonymity problems.  Take a look at <a href="<page volunteer>#Coding">our coding projects</a>.</p>
+<p>Is your legal firm willing to defend Tor and its volunteers?  Are you waiting for an interesting case to defend online privacy and anonymity?  Contact us at donations at torproject.org for more details.</p>

+<h3><a class="anchor" href="#hardware">Donate Hardware</a></h3>
+<p>We're generally looking for donated hardware and support services that could be used to provide the infrastructure that supports Tor's operations, including website mirrors, database servers, build systems and legacy hardware for supporting packages on older Operating Systems; such as OS X 10.2, OS X 10.3, Windows XP, Windows 7, IRIX, Redhat, CentOS, Fedora, Debian, etc.  A number of service providers have an abundance of bandwidth capacity, but need hardware in order donate it to us. </p>
+<p>By donating hardware, you're joining our <a href="<page sponsors>">many sponsors</a> in providing online privacy and anonymity.  If you want Tor to work on your architecture or hardware, a fine way to do this is to donate the hardware and operating system to us.
