Clever, but needs editing. In contrast with the
original quotation, the
foundation is not intended as an object of patriotism, or an entity to
be built up for its own sake. Ask, rather, how your projects can help
with sharing knowledge and free culture. (Since that aligns with the
foundation's mission, I suppose it would help the foundation, but I
don't think asking that way motivates quite the same.)
