## Financial support

UserFrosting is completely free and open source, and licensed under the [MIT License](https://github.com/userfrosting/UserFrosting/blob/master/LICENSE.md).

That being said, yes, we'll take your money!

Your financial contribution will help keep our chat and demo servers going.  And, who knows?  Maybe enough people will donate and Alex can make UserFrosting his full-time job ;-)

The easiest way to contribute financially is through our [Pledgie campaign](https://pledgie.com/campaigns/29583).  Suggested donations are as follows:

- Personal use: $10
- Local nonprofit use (e.g. local chapters of Scouts, Elk Lodge, etc): $30
- National nonprofit, municipal, and business use: $100
- Super donor: $500

We can also accept donations via bitcoin: `18Ew1xGy1E3kjH1UyPEgJ3nnDN3ZWUY1N1`

You can also help pay for our web and chat server costs by signing up with DigitalOcean using our [referral link](https://m.do.co/c/833058cf3824).  Once you've spent $25 with them, we'll earn $25 towards our own DigitalOcean account.<commit_msg>Swap Pledgie (defunct) to Open Collective<commit_after>---
