+<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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx for more details.</p>
