Is there a formal way donations can be made to the OSCAR project?

We appreciate your asking, but the short answer is: no.

Project manager Bonjour has written:

OSCAR is developed by CPAP users for CPAP users out of a strong desire to help the CPAP community. Our biggest expense is the cost of the forum OSCAR developers use for communication and the server bandwidth cost which allows our users to access the software. These have been generously provided for us by Apnea Board. We have absolutely no profit motive....
I would add that cpaptalk.com has also been very welcoming to OSCAR and we appreciate their support.

For more information see this thread on ApneaBoard.
