Did you know you can donate to us through GitHub and show on your profile there? github.com/sponsors/dj... Thank you to our current sponsors on GitHub!
If you're wondering how the heart jumped, one of the biggest parts is that the payment came through from our PyCharm campaign, which is made up largely by all of the wonderful individual donors who bought licenses through our yearly campaign. Thank you. www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/
I had to go back to grab this screenshot, because we have now zoomed past 100% But, to be honest, we needed to. I believe this will end up being our best fundraising year ever, but it is also our most expensive year ever. Please help us finish strong!
With some payments coming in today, we should break 100%, but please make the donations coming. I'd like it to be our biggest year yet. Last year, fundraising was $317,598.
We are past 98%! It was my favorite moment when that second to last box filled in. Help us fill the last! www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/
Over 97% funded! Please consider a recurring donation to help us in the future. www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/
Over 96% funded! Thank you so much for all of the donations coming in! www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/
