Over the last 6 months or so I’ve been trying to switch to (mostly) open source software. I’d like to somehow contribute to the software I use and the people making it, but I have no programming expertise or other skills that would be useful. Is there anywhere I can set up a monthly donation so I can at least help support the people who do have those skills?
There is no central location to donate to open source software in general. Most open source projects include donation details on their website or in their code repositories.
Yeah, just check out the website or GitHub of your favorite distro, desktop environment, or application, almost all of them will have donation options. I’ve given to EndeavourOS a couple times. Feels good.
That was my first thought, but I hoped there was some kind of foundation that supported multiple developers/projects to which I could set up a recurring donation.
There are a few such foundations!
Definitely going to look into them, thanks!
That is not a thing. But every donation platform out there that the various developers use has a “recurring donation” option that is almost what you are looking for.
