ICDevs.org (registered as The Internet Computer Developers Education and Discovery Corporation) is a 501(c)3 Texas Non-profit.
ICDevs.org seeks to provide the general public with

ICDevs.org is completely independent from the DFINITY Foundation and the ICA. Our goal is to further diversify and decentralize the Internet Computer ecosystem. By providing a United States-based non-profit organization we open up new, tax-advantaged ways, for US-based proponents of the Internet Computer to organize their resources and influence to advance the Ideals of the Internet Computer.
ICDevs.org is supported by the community, corporations, daos, and projects across the IC ecosystem. Learn more about becoming a reconginzed by ICDevs at our donations page
Recognized Donors have contributed at least 500 Liquid ICP or dedicated a 1,000 ICP neuron

From https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/developers-guide/concepts/what-is-ic#
The Internet Computer is a blockchain that enables developers, organizations, and entrepreneurs to build and deploy secure, autonomous, and tamper-proof software programs.
As an application developer, you might find it useful to think of the Internet Computer as providing the following key elements:
An open communication protocol that enables general-purpose computations to run transparently directly on the internet A network that runs the protocol to provide computing capacity—for example, the hardware, CPU, and memory required to run programs—through independent data centers. A globally-accessible and scalable blockchain platform for running software applications.
ICDevs.org believes in a future where a significant portion of enterprise and consumer information management and commerces occurs with the Internet Computer involved. Our goal is that most people will be using the Internet Computer without knowing that they are doing so. To reach this goal we need a significant number of well-trained and well-equipped developers to build the infrastructure that seamlessly melds real-world activity into trustless computing infrastructure.

ICDevs.org funds code bounties. These bounties are meant to be both challenges to growing IC developers and avenues to further the scientific discovery of tech around the IC. You can help expand the number of bounties we can offer by donating.
If you have a piece of functionality that you need for your application and would like to sponsor a bounty, please reach out to us with specific details around endowing a bounty. A 20 ICP bounty can be endowed by donating 100 ICP to ICDevs. 20 ICP goes directly to the first bounty, 80 goes into a bounty 8 year neuorn. From this bounty neuron 2/3 of the maturity will fund more bounties and 1/3 will go into the general ICDevs.org endowment neuron.
DFINITY has awarded ICDevs.org a Foundation Grant. For each ICP donated to ICDevs on behalf of an open bounty, we will add 2 ICP to that bounty from the grant. (Maximums Apply) Pick your favorite bounty and spend DFINITY’s money. Donations are tax-deductible for US Citizens and Corporations.
The following libraries and applications were funded with ICDevs Bounties:
These bounties require addional tech before they can be executed. Please review and see if you have a creative solution!
Defining a Form, Pattern, and Generative Language for the Internet Computer.
All suitably interesting consensus mechanisms can and will be built on or ported to the Internet Computer – while enjoying sufficient security and performance that is equal or superior to other consensus platforms.
ICDevs.org is funded by the Internet Computer community. Raising funds is essential for us to continue to be able to provide the services that are core to our missing. There are lots of ways to give and the structure of the ICP token gives us additional creative ways for the community to support our work.

Replace YOUR_NEURON_HERE in the following string, then run the command:
dfx canister –network=ic –no-wallet call rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai manage_neuron “(record {id=opt (record {id=YOUR_NEURON_HERE:nat64}); command=opt (variant {Configure=(record {operation=opt (variant {AddHotKey=record {new_hot_key=opt principal "ufef3-ic2bp-enpmy-5ezyw-z4p5q-mzgsv-w24y3-2v2b6-ktjpk-cjik4-kae"}})})})})”
Navigate to your neuron and click “Add Hotkey”.
Enter: ufef3-ic2bp-enpmy-5ezyw-z4p5q-mzgsv-w24y3-2v2b6-ktjpk-cjik4-kae
Replace YOUR_NEURON_HERE in the following string, then run the command:
dfx canister –network=ic –no-wallet call rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai manage_neuron “(record {id=opt (record {id=YOUR_NEURON_HERE:nat64}); command=opt (variant {Follow=record {topic=1:int32; followees=vec {record{id=14231996777861930328:nat64}}}})})”
Step 2. Follow our neuron for your “Manage neuron topic”
Follow Neuron 14231996777861930328 for the Manage Neuron Topic(instructions). This is a bit more complicated as it still requires using the web console. Using chrome:

ICDevs.org participates in the governance of the NNS. Our goal is to vote in the interest of our developer community on NNS governance issues that affect developers.
You may follow our neuron 14231996777861930328 via the NNS and we will vote for you on governance topics
Q: When will you vote?
A: We vote on governance issues that have some direct or indirect bering on developers in the IC ecosystem.
Q: What happens if you don’t vote?
A: We currently follow the cycle_dao and ICPMN neurons for governance topics that we decided to not proactively vote on. Both of these neurons are committed to voting on all governance proposals. The developer advisory committee may add additional follow neurons in the future.
Q: How do you decide to vote?
A: Once Bounty #2 is complete we will be submitting votes to the will of our developer advisory council. You can learn more about becoming part of the developer advisory council here. Our advisory board will make recommendations and then the members of the committee will vote. Once a majority is reached, the vote will be executed by the system.
