We need funds to sustain our critical open source project, but...
We fear our fundraising efforts will get lost on a general purpose crowdfunding platform
Crowdfunding makes it easy to support open source projects
Raise the funds you need
Make funding easy so you can focus on what matters most: Writing code. Crowdfunding is a great way to raise the money you need to sustain and grow your projects, support community events, or cover the costs of mentorship programs. This platform includes the tools you need to make this process as painless as possible.
Donate directly to the projects you rely on
Invest in the open source community by funding projects you care about. Track project insights and funding progress to ensure your donations are well spent. Be confident in where your money is going with full project spending transparency and neutral non-profit oversight.
“We use LFX Crowdfunding to receive donations and handle project expenses. It provides all key features for working with individual and company donors, and it helps us to facilitate Jenkins evolution by funding outreach programs and infrastructure costs. We have also run our first independent mentoring project with the Mentorship portal. We are looking forward to making LFX the primary crowdfunding platform!”
