Overview
This page outlines a sustained, mission‑driven effort to maintain open‑source libraries that power countless projects and products. The work is steady but essential: security patches, compatibility fixes, and thoughtful, maintainable code that outlives individual contributors. By supporting this initiative, you’re helping ensure reliable tooling for developers, educators, researchers, and creators who rely on robust foundations every day.
Our focus is practical and transparent. The funds are directed toward people who dedicate their time to long‑term maintenance, tooling, and documentation. The goal is simple—keep critical libraries healthy, secure, and accessible for years to come, so that innovation can continue without being blocked by avoidable technical debt.
Why Your Support Matters
Open‑source maintenance is a collective act. Without ongoing support, important libraries can drift, dependencies may become brittle, and small issues accumulate into bigger problems. Your contribution helps stabilize the ecosystem, enabling developers around the world to build with confidence.
- Sustain core maintainer time so critical updates land promptly
- Fund security patches, dependency updates, and compatibility work
- Improve documentation, tests, and accessibility across languages
- Support hosting, CI pipelines, and continuous integration costs
- Provide a transparent, governance‑driven path for future improvements
How Donations Are Used
Donations are allocated to the people and infrastructure that keep the project viable over the long term. A portion directly funds maintainer time, enabling focused work on critical areas like security, stability, and performance.
We also invest in tooling and infrastructure that lowers barriers to contribution—unit tests, documentation upgrades, localization, and accessibility improvements. Hosting and continuous integration costs are covered to ensure new versions are tested thoroughly before release.
To maintain accountability, we publish high‑level reports on funding usage and milestones. Funds are not tied to a single release cycle; they support ongoing reliability, rather than temporary fixes. This approach helps ensure continuity even as individual contributors come and go.
Community Voices
"Having a steady stream of support for maintenance means I can focus on meaningful, long‑term fixes rather than firefighting. It changes how I plan the work." — a longtime maintainer
"Knowing that upkeep is funded gives confidence to new contributors. It lowers the barrier to helping out and grows a healthier ecosystem." — community member
Transparency And Trust
Integrity is built into our process. We maintain open, public metrics on activity, milestones, and spending where appropriate. Contributors have access to guidelines for participation, and governance is designed to be inclusive and accountable.
Publicly available receipts and high‑level reports accompany major releases. We welcome questions about budgeting, personnel, and project direction, and we publish updates when key decisions are made. This transparency helps the community understand how resources translate into concrete improvements.
