Overview
Open Design Systems for Everyone is a community driven initiative focused on practical, livable design systems that empower teams of all sizes. By sharing open components, guidelines, and governance, we help makers build cohesive experiences with less friction. This page explains how donations sustain the work behind Open Design Systems for Everyone, ensuring continuity for contributors and users alike.
Our aim is clear and measurable: to lower barriers to participation, improve consistency across products, and foster an inclusive ecosystem where designers and developers collaborate openly. Your support directly funds the ongoing maintenance, documentation, and community-led initiatives that keep the project moving forward.

How Donations Are Used
Donations to Open Design Systems for Everyone are allocated to support core development, documentation, and community initiatives. The approach is pragmatic, aiming for ongoing improvement and durable impact rather than quick wins.
- Core development and documentation improvements including new components and usage guides
- Hosting, build tooling, and infrastructure for demos and assets
- Translation and localization to support diverse languages and regions

We also prioritize governance and communication. Updates are published openly, with milestones tied to transparent progress metrics and clear contribution guidelines that welcome new participants.
