Overview
Open Design Systems for Everyone is a community powered initiative that aims to level the playing field for designers, developers, educators, and makers. This ongoing effort builds open design systems, shared components, and accessible documentation that can be adopted across industries. By supporting this project, you enable a sustainable path for collaboration, refinement, and transparent governance that benefits users worldwide. Each contribution helps keep the project resilient, inclusive, and adaptable to new platforms.
Open Design Systems for Everyone hinges on purpose and clarity. We invest in robust component libraries, accessible typography, inclusive color palettes, and clear contribution guidelines. Our goal is not to lock in a single vendor but to grow a flexible, interoperable ecosystem that teams can trust and customize with confidence.

The project emphasizes real world utility — not just code — and prioritizes maintainability, accessibility, and clear licensing. This is a global effort that invites designers and developers to contribute, review, and iterate together.

How Donations Are Used
Donations sustain the core development cycle of Open Design Systems for Everyone. We allocate funds to a transparent mix of work items that align with a public roadmap. This includes core library maintenance, hosting costs, accessibility audits, and user research that informs improvements. We also reserve resources for outreach, bilingual documentation, and governance activities that keep the project accountable to contributors and end users alike.
Allocation is tracked in a public ledger and updated quarterly. We aim for measurable progress: new components every sprint, documented accessibility tests with pass rates, and clearer contribution guidelines that welcome first time contributors. Your gift helps extend the project’s reach beyond a single community and into classrooms, startups, and non profit tech stacks.
