Overview

The Open Source Accessibility Initiative is a community-driven effort dedicated to keeping public code truly public. This donation drive supports maintainers, hosting, documentation, and governance that sustain open repositories for developers, students, and organizations worldwide. By contributing, you invest in reliability, accessibility, and long-term stewardship of software that underpins countless projects, research endeavors, and educational tools.

Our work revolves around practical outcomes: stable releases, clear licenses, comprehensive READMEs, and inclusive processes that invite fresh contributors. The initiative exists to ensure that open-source software remains a shared resource—transparent, verifiable, and ready for collaboration across borders and disciplines. Your support helps translate intent into action, turning good ideas into dependable infrastructure that anyone can build upon.

Why Your Support Matters

Support from donors sustains the Open Source Accessibility Initiative by empowering people to contribute without facing avoidable barriers. This is about more than code; it is about creating an ecosystem where collaboration thrives and public code stays accessible for a longer, healthier lifespan. With your assistance, the project can expand its reach and deepen its impact across communities that rely on open tooling for learning, experimentation, and production work.

• Maintainer time and attention for bug fixes, code reviews, and feature enhancements that keep repositories healthy.
• Hosting, bandwidth, and continuous integration to ensure reliable builds and quick feedback loops.
• Documentation improvements, tutorials, and multilingual materials that lower the barrier to entry.
• Security practices, vulnerability response, and independent audits to raise confidence in public code.
• Community governance and outreach that promote inclusive participation and transparent budgeting.

How Donations Are Used

We allocate resources to maximize lasting impact while maintaining clear, accountable practices. The Open Source Accessibility Initiative follows published guidelines that describe how funds are deployed and measured. This approach supports sustainable development and ensures progress remains visible to contributors and users alike.

• Development and maintenance: compensating contributors for time spent on code review, refactoring, and feature work.
• Infrastructure: hosting services, build pipelines, and secure delivery mechanisms for public repositories.
• Security and quality: implementing audits, dependency management, and prompt remediation of vulnerabilities.
• Documentation and onboarding: producing clear guides, examples, and translations to invite broader participation.
• Governance and transparency: publishing periodic reports, budgets, and performance metrics for community review.
