I wouldn't know where to get at that.

I only see one sentence of content:
| Debian Financial Partners listing
|
| The following organizations have donated money to Debian Project,
| as one way of contributing through Debian Partners Program.
There are a couple of missing articles:
The following organizations have donated money to the Debian Project,
as one way of contributing through the Debian Partners Program.
The page it links to says that cash donations to the project
_aren't_ a way for an organisation to qualify for Partner status,
but presumably you're planning to add a "Financial Partners"
category to that page.
> I have special doubts of how should "donated amount" column be written.
If this is something debian-l10n-english gets to decide then I
suppose it should follow LC_MONETARY=en_US: "Donations: USD xxx.xx"

Maybe something like this:
Companies that have made previous financial donations can
contact the Debian Partners team at partners@debian.org or
the debian-publicity mailing list to have their
contributions listed here.
Or should the "at..." part just be covered by a link on "Debian
Partners"?

If I'm reviewing the "placeholder" texts and other formatting I
should point out:
| Updated: 30 october 2009.
Upper case for month names: "October". But why not use the same
format as the webpage's "Last Modified" footer?
Oh, and if you want "standard" filler content, see
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum";!
