They work with many FOSS projects (including various Monero workgroups) to sell merchandise and donate to them 50% of the profits. Find them at <a href="https://cyphermarket.com" target="_blank">cyphermarket.com</a>.

Check back next week for another merchant that accepts Monero for their goods and services.
