		sirsar on Aug 3, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: $8k on AWS in August for you, any interest... The Internet Archive is a different entity than ArchiveTeam. I'm skeptical that running AT instances (which scrape websites into archives which then get hosted by IA) counts as a donation towards the IA. From archiveteam.org: `Archive Team is in no way affiliated with the fine folks at ARCHIVE.ORG`

Granted, but you could contact archive.org and ask how $8k of AWK credit could be donated and used productively. I'm certain they'd have a valuable use for it.
