Support Open Design Systems for Everyone to Innovate

Overview

Open Design Systems for Everyone is a collaborative effort to create a modular, open design system that any team or individual can use and adapt. The goal is to provide a reliable set of components, tokens, and guidance that emphasizes accessibility, clarity, and interoperability. By pooling resources, the project can maintain high quality without locking in proprietary constraints, helping designers and developers worldwide build better products faster.

This initiative focuses on practical, reusable patterns that work across web, mobile, and emerging interfaces. It favors transparent processes, open licensing, and inclusive participation. Your support keeps the project accessible, well documented, and approachable for newcomers and seasoned contributors alike.

Progress depends on consistent, thoughtful funding that sustains core work such as component libraries, documentation, tooling, and community governance. Donations enable maintainers to dedicate time to refining tokens, improving examples, and building tooling that lowers the barrier to entry for new contributors. Together, we can advance an design ecosystem that serves everyone, not just a few.
