There are a few who do security-related audits. I'll see if I can get a list
made up.

We probably would. This is why I'm suggesting that it become something we
stick on the front page of freebsd.org/freebsdfoundation.org. Since FreeBSD
is a not-for-profit organization (as Chris Odell pointed out) I think it'd
actually be attractive for people (and corporations using FreeBSD) to donate
as it would be tax-deductible. It just needs to be made well-known that this
is a goal of the Foundation, and I think people will be willing to donate to
it. We've already had $300 of pledges today :)
