That's correct.

The basic approach is that you're donating to the SPI, making a "designated 
gift" to either PostgreSQL or the PostgreSQL Anniversary.  If the designation 
is unclear (i.e. to "PG") then it would likely be necessary to contact the 
giver by e-mail to confirm the destination.   As long as both the 
organization and the donor are clear on the designation at the time of 
giving, it's not a problem for the IRS.

Of course, when we get our Click&Pledge account working, we won't have to rely 
on people typing it into a blank.  Which will be good.
