An awesome list about possibilities to support Open Source
Everyone is using Open Source Software these days. It helps all of us to get things done. So you should start thinking about giving something back. Even if it’s only a friendly »Thank you ❤️« tweet or a quick pull request to fix a typo in the docs of your favorite project.
Please read the contribution guidelines before contributing.
The JS Foundation supports some of the most important projects in the JavaScript ecosystem (ESLint, Lodash, Moment, webpack among others).
The foundation is financed entirely by its members and the donations and contributions from the JavaScript community.
Info about how to donate can be found over here.
