Donation Question

Hello
I've been using arch as my main driver for about a year now and can't really imagine switching to anything else
Since I'm not smart enough to contribute on the technical side and still would like to assist the project I've decided to donate some cash because that never hurts
I'm new to the whole ordeal and don't know what the best way is to go about it - I'd rather not use paypal and the likes
Could someone recommend a way to donate like 50-100 bucks a month continuesly without too high fees?
A direct banklink for the classic deposits would be fine by me, I'm completely lost when it comes to financestuff tho

Thanks

Godspeed gamers

There is a direct link on the main page Donate below Support. If you do not like to use PayPal you can use Click&Pledge.

Re: Donation Question

I've been donating through the SPI link on that page for a while now.  Using the monthly donations option. 

It would be nice if there was something on the arch page that showed some kind of breakdown for how funds are distributed.  Hopefully there is enough to give the maintainers some spending cash for their efforts.

The SPI offers yearly reports, here's the 2022 version:

Arch is listed under section 4.3.4, which gives a broad overview of how the money is spent.

Re: Donation Question

Hi, on this page https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/archlinux/ you can click on PayPal and donate by logging into PayPal or by entering your credit card info without logging into PayPal. I strongly dislike PayPal too, but the latter option is convenient.

Only one thing is certain: nothing is certain.
