DDEV is free software that’s supported by an incredible community. While there are lots of ways to support DDEV, financial contributions help secure DDEV’s long-term sustainability.

Sponsorship funds help:

• Support upstream projects we depend on.
• Cover software, equipment, and infrastucture costs for things like development, testing, and analytics.
• Compensate contributors for their work on documentation, feature development, and maintenance.

Governance and financial details are available in this GitHub issue, and they’re regularly reported in DDEV Advisory Group minutes.

Randy Fay, DDEV’s project lead, administers the nonprofit DDEV Foundation which exists to fund long-term DDEV development and maintenance, and has a bank account linked to GitHub Sponsors. The DDEV Foundation is a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so donations to it may be tax-deductible. Randy’s work is generously sponsored by Platform.sh, and he does not receive funds personally.

Please consider supporting our work to improve local development for so many people building things on the web!
