Bonus: Django itself

Django is maintained by the Django Software Foundation (DSF), a non-profit organization that relies on donations to fund its work. So while it cannot run sales, supporting it is definitely a good deal!

If your organization relies on Django, please push to sign it up as a corporate sponsor. For $1,000 or more, you can get your logo featured on the Fundraising page, and you can feature a badge on your own site.

Otherwise, you can also donate as an individual on:

• GitHub Sponsors - adds to your GitHub bill.
• Threadless - grab some custom-printed merchandise.
• The Fundraising Page - bills from a credit card with Stripe.

Your money will go towards:

• Paying the Django Fellows, Natalia, Sarah, and Jacob, who merge respond to tickets, merge code, and make releases.
• Helping organize DjangoCons in Africa, America, and Europe, and other events.
• Hosting the documentation, source code, ticketing system, and CI system.
• A very long tail of activities that keep the framework alive and thriving.

At the time of writing, Django is only 59% towards its annual funding goal of $300,000:

Let’s fill up that heart! 💚💚💚

May you have fun supporting Django creators and the DSF this Black Friday and Cyber Monday!
