I’ve just finished setting up the early motions of a similar fund over at &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.gitpod.io&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;gitpod-open-source-sustainability-fund&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.gitpod.io&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;gitpod-open-source-sustainability...&lt;/a&gt;. Currently an initial amount of USD 30,000 has been earmarked. One day I hope to triple that (or more). At &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.gitpod.io&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;devxconf-wrap&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.gitpod.io&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;devxconf-wrap&lt;/a&gt; USD 10,000 was distributed to maintainers of LSP implementations and “digital infrastructure” that people use day-to-day but seldom think about.</text></comment>
