GNU Boot is the fully free BIOS/UEFI replacement endorsed by the FSF. It is based on Coreboot/Libreboot, having the nonfree parts removed and better build system. While most people tend to overlook the importance of having fully free BIOS/UEFI and bootloaders, emphasizing only the need to have a free main operating system, these lower layers of the computer can contain backdoors and security vulnerabilities which have the potential to violate user's freedoms and privacy.
Technoethical donates parts of its income to different free software projects. We list the donations on the page Technoethical donations.
