Yes, although I don't think the foundation is currently set up to pay developers
(maybe Rob can comment on this).

Another possibility might be to go via the NLnet Foundation [1]. From my
understanding based on a chat I recently had with them, they can take donations
from companies that want a certain feature (say, adding some backend to NixOps)
and then pay the developer, ensuring the donation is tax-deductible as a charity.

Unfortunately not yet, we're still waiting for our secretary to type in his
scribblings from the two board meetings we've had :-)
