Ondersteun goede mensen

Goede mensen in de wereld van de techniek bevolken de non-profit gemeenschap gerund door altruïstische vrijwilligers zonder commerciële interesse en daarom geen interesse in u uit te buiten, uw werk of uw gegevens.

Good people defend your autonomy and give you the means to control your devices and your digital life.

Good people actively oppose those who would strip you of your privacy for monetary or ideological gains.

Good people undermine the power of monopolistic multinational companies by transparently creating free and open products offering safe and ethical solutions beyond the closed and exploitative alternatives offered by corporations bent on market dominance.

Good people embrace and encourage diversity via communities that are open and accepting.

Our fundraiser this year encourages you to Support the Good People of Tech, like the people working at GNOME, the Open Document Foundation, FSFE, and so many more. Maybe also us here in KDE!

Help us keep doing good work by…

• …making a one-time donation using the donation box on this page!
• …setting up regular periodic donations (also possible via the donation box) or even becoming a Supporting Member!
• …adopting an App!

…Adopt an App!

Adopt one of KDE's apps and we can share with the whole world how awesome you are and how much you're doing to support us. Adopting a KDE app is easy:

1. Make a donation of €50 or more to our fundraiser.
2. Choose an app you'd like to adopt from the list below. Each app can be adopted by up to 5 adopters. We will add more apps to the list as the adoption slots fill up.
3. During the donation process, use the comment section to write which app you want to adopt and the name you'd like to be known as. This can be your name, nickname, or your social media handle^*†…
4. Uw naam zal in de apps.kde.org van de toepassing verschijnen als een Supporter vanaf het moment van de donatie totdat KDE Gear 25.04 is uitgegeven in april van volgend jaar. Ook op sociale media zullen wij u een shout-out geven.

Waarom doneren

KDE is funded mainly by you: our friends, users, and supporters. Thanks to your donations, we can deliver the best free and open software that respects your privacy and gives you control over your devices and digital life. Your donations also help us keep tech corporations in check.

By getting most of our support from people like you, we can preserve our independence and focus on developing what you need. We will never be pressured by any company to include the anti-features used in proprietary software that abuse your trust to maximize owners' profits.

And that's how we like it. We really appreciate your support. Today, we want to show the world how you help keep Free Software projects alive and ethical!
