If you support our campaign, you will directly impact the future of KDE. Donations are also a great way to show gratitude to your favorite developers. And if you‘ve always wanted to contribute to FOSS, but never had the time, a donation also counts as a contribution!

As you probably already know, KDE software is free for everyone to use and modify. We would like to keep it that way. Help us build a world in which everyone has control over their digital life and enjoys freedom and privacy.

But wait...what are we going to do with your money?



Power community growth and KDE promotion

You will contribute to the organization of Akademy, our biggest community event. Thanks to you, our community members will be able to travel to conferences and give talks about KDE software, or set up booths at tech events around the globe to present our technology.

Empower people by teaching and mentoring them

Your donations will make it easier for us to organize events like Season of KDE, where we mentor students and new FOSS contributors.

Boost our developers to make even better software

Is Plasma your favorite desktop environment? What about other software developed by KDE - do you use Marble Maps, Kdenlive, Dolphin, digiKam, or KMail? Your donations will help us make that software better. We'll be able to work on it together during our developer sprints, such as Randa Meetings.

Power our websites and infrastructure

With your help, we will be able to pay for hosting and administration expenses, as well as finish the redesign project of our main KDE website.
