The Django Software Foundation has just hired a part time person to organise fundraising [0]. There is also discussion happening around the community about trying to find a sustainable way of funding open source projects and Django in particular.<p>Part of the problem is that it&#x27;s hard to get companies to &quot;donate&quot; money. If they can purchase something like &quot;support&quot; or something else tangible, or &quot;sponsorship&quot; out of their advertising budgets, there may be more opportunities of gaining funding.<p>Thank you for donating though! Django gets a lot of their money from regular developers&#x27; pockets. I, personally, feel that bigger companies using Django to generate lots of revenue should be contributing a greater portion to support the stack that supports them.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.djangoproject.com&#x2F;weblog&#x2F;2015&#x2F;nov&#x2F;23&#x2F;introducing-dsfs-director-advancement&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.djangoproject.com&#x2F;weblog&#x2F;2015&#x2F;nov&#x2F;23&#x2F;introducing...</a>
