Ubuntu MATE is funded by our community. This is how we put the donations to use:
- Web hosting and bandwidth costs.
- Supporting Open Source projects that Ubuntu MATE depends upon.
- Eventually pay for full time developers of Ubuntu MATE and MATE Desktop.
Patreon is a unique way to fund an Open Source project. A regular monthly income ensures sustainability for the Ubuntu MATE project. Patrons will be rewarded with exclusive project news, updates and invited to participate in video conferences where you can talk to the developers directly.
If you would prefer to use PayPal then we have options to donate monthly or make a one off donation. Finally we also accept donations via Bitcoin.
Commercial sponsorship is also available. Click the Become a Patron button above to find out more.
