Support
What it costs, and how to help.
These projects are free and open source, and they cost real money and time to keep going. Everything below goes into one pool that covers whichever project needs it most. Each project's running cost is listed further down.
One pool
Ways to chip in.
GitHub Sponsors is the easiest way to give if you're on GitHub. Not on GitHub? Pay by card through Stripe instead. The tiers match.
Same tiers, pay through GitHub. It goes to the same pool.

Stripe handles card payments on its own pages. This site loads nothing from Stripe, and a link only opens when you click it. Supporting a project buys no say in its roadmap.
