and note this:

   We aim at very low costs. The goal is to limit the costs to 5% of the 
   revenue. The revenue and expenses show that the costs in 2013 were only 0.5% 
   of the total revenue.  This is within the goal by a large margin. The 
   largest parts of the costs are unavoidable banking costs.

That is an exceptionally frugal charity; lots of charity monitoring sites seem to think that over 80% is doing well.

Incredible, I don't use Vim very much (once in a while) but I think I'll make a donation when I get paid just for the times when I do.
