I've lost my password. How do I get a new one?

Just go here and enter your Fellowship user name or primary e-mail address.

Is the Fellowship contribution tax-deductible?

We have set up a page with information about TaxDeductibility of Fellowship contributions in some countries.

I've received a message that my Paypal subscription was cancelled, how do I set up a new one?

Paypal has the bad habit of cancelling all subscriptions if the bank account or credit card information for a Paypal account changes, e.g. when your credit card expires and you have to set up a new credit card. We have no possibility of avoiding this.

It is of course possible for you to set up a new subscription once the bank account or credit card information has been updated. However, please note that Paypal immediately does the first transfer when you set up a subscription, so do not set up a new subscription before your next Fellowship contribution is due, otherwise you will pay too early.

If you are not sure when your next Fellowship contribution is due, log in to your Fellowship account, go to the "Personal settings" page, and click on the "Request Setting" button. You will receive an email which, among other things, contains the date when your next Fellowship contribution is due. At the same time, this email contains a link you can then use to set up a new subscription.

How do I get a new Fellowship card?

If your card got damaged or lost and you want to get a new one, simply pay €20,00 to

Free Software Foundation Europe e.V.
IBAN: DE69 3602 0030 0003 0047 32
National-Bank Essen, Steinstraße 13, 40212 Dusseldorf, Germany
SWIFT/BIC: NBAG DE3E

and say "Replacement card" and your Fellowship number in the title.

The same procedure applies if you want to use Paypal, but you have to send the money (with the same title) to <paypal AT fsfeurope DOT org>.

Which services can I use as a Fellow?

A good starting point is the FellowshipServices page, where you can find all services that you as a Fellow can use.

I don't want to be a Fellow anymore! What do I have to do?

We are very sorry about that, but of course we accept your decision. If you do not want to be Fellow anymore, you simply have to stop your Fellowship payments to us. If you have paid using Paypal, please make sure that you don't have the automatic renewal option enabled. If so, please cancel the according subscription in your Paypal account. Please note that if you stop your payments, you will receive three payment reminders, but these can safely be ignored.
If you want to give us a reason for your decision, we would appreciate that.
