The Collective

There are many ways to support the sustainability of open-source and the people and communities that maintain it. One way is through financial sponsorship. Each month I will feature a different project I rely on and encourage you to support it or use this as inspiration to find and support the projects you rely on.

If you run a business, it makes business sense to sponsor the project to ensure it remains healthy and actively maintained for years to come. If you are an individual, you can of course still contribute financially, but you can also show your support by talking about the project, writing blog posts, making videos, and writing tutorials. If you are in a position to do so, consider suggesting to your employer to financially support the project.
