  I rather doubt it, but it depends what you're looking for. If you
want financial support, I suspect the answer is "almost definitely
not";
if you simply want some kind of symbolic support, then it's "very
probably not".  The board of the R foundation is listed at
http://www.r-project.org/foundation/board.html (with only a postal
contact address ...)  You might post to r-devel at r-project.org, which
is read by some R-Core members (which overlaps with the membership of
the R Foundation).

  These are only my guesses, certainly not definitive.
