Sugar Labs has applied for membership within the [http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org Software Freedom Conservancy] (SFC). This would place the project under the umbrella of a 501.3(c) foundation. "The Conservancy provides member projects with free financial and administrative services, but does not involve itself with technological and artistic decisions. By joining the Conservancy, member FOSS projects can obtain the benefits of a formal legal structure while keeping themselves focused on software development." The governance of Sugar Labs is independent of the SFC board.
