Supporting the software we use, not just the software we see

Sponsor the technology you rely on, we’ll do the rest

We’ve sourced, indexed, and packaged millions of open source components into a few hundred curated funds, dedicated to supporting the work of critical projects and maintainers within their respective communities.

We identify packages, repositories, authors, and funding sources to direct your money to the right people, using the tools projects themselves have chosen to manage their finances.

We’ve officially announced ecosyste.ms funds, read the blog post

ecosyste.ms has teamed up with the folks behind Open Source Collective to remove the barriers to supporting your critical software dependencies

Here’s how it works

Sponsor the technology you rely on

Choose from our curated funds, called ecosystems, dedicated to supporting the work of critical projects and maintainers within their respective communities.

We give projects their fair share

We allocate the funding to projects according to their usage among the other dependencies in their ecosystem.

Projects choose how to get paid

Projects collect their funding however they want to (minus a 10% fee) using their chosen financial tools.

Open, transparent, accountable

You see where your money went, and how it has been spent, and the impact of your financial support.

Coming soon

Support ecosystems using your credit card or paypal account, or create an account to use throughout the year. Open Source Collective is a registered vendor to most large open source funders, including Google, Microsoft, Meta, Salesforce and many more.
