Overview
The Open Source Builders Collective is a global network supporting the people who build, maintain, and teach open source software. This initiative focuses on practical, impact‑driven work that often goes unfunded: robust tooling, mentorship programs, inclusive documentation, and accessible onboarding for newcomers. By contributing to this cause, you empower developers, maintainers, and educators to collaborate across borders with confidence and clarity.
Your support strengthens a sustainable ecosystem where ideas become usable software, tutorials become pathways to contribution, and diverse voices shape better code. This page represents a steady, long‑term commitment to open collaboration, not a crisis response. We are building toward durable infrastructure, transparent governance, and broader participation for years to come.
Why Your Support Matters
For the Open Source Builders Collective, contributions from the community translate into real, measurable progress. Your support fuels the core activities that sustain momentum, including infrastructure for testing and hosting, accessible documentation, and mentorship programs that help first‑time contributors grow into capable maintainers.
The collective thrives when more people can participate—across languages, time zones, and skill levels. With your donation, we can expand outreach, improve onboarding materials, and create inclusive spaces where diverse developers can collaborate on high‑impact projects. Together, we accelerate innovation while maintaining high standards for quality and sustainability.

How Donations Are Used
Donations are allocated with clear intent toward maintaining a healthy, scalable open source culture. We publish practical budgets and progress updates so supporters see how resources are used to advance the mission of the Open Source Builders Collective.
Allocation focuses on concrete outcomes: maintainable infrastructure, documentation improvements, outreach to underserved communities, and governance that ensures accountability. Every funded initiative aligns with our commitment to inclusivity, transparency, and long-term viability.
A typical distribution centers on four pillars: core development and hosting, contributor onboarding and mentorship, accessibility and localization, and community governance and evaluation. These areas are chosen because they compound over time, creating durable impact rather than one‑off gains.

Transparency And Trust
We believe in open, public accountability. The collective maintains transparent ledgers, publishes periodic funding reports, and shares progress metrics that matter to contributors and supporters alike. Governance is designed to be inclusive and verifiable, with opportunities for community input on priorities and audits.
Public updates cover key milestones, milestones, and outcomes so supporters can track the trajectory of funded work. We welcome questions and feedback from the global community, and we invite contributors to review governance practices and impact dashboards as part of our ongoing commitment to integrity.
