Some of the comments here seem overly negative and critical.

They support billions of devices and are only asking for $4,000 in donations per year.

They support no devices. Read more carefully.

It's almost certain NTP is what's synchronizing time on your system right now.

And yes, they're separate from the NTP Pool Project, which runs the actual servers, but the Network Time Foundation supports the software that billions of devices run on.
