The Collab Lab is 100% volunteer-driven and *free* for participants.

But it does cost money to run. Not a ton of money, but some.

If you can, please consider sponsoring us. Thank you!

We’re a 501(c)3 nonprofit, so donations are tax-deductible in the U.S.

We make use of free/freemium tools as much as possible. E.g., we have a free nonprofit plan with @SlackHQ which is super incredibly helpful! We use the free level of @GitHub as well.

But there is other software that we’re using where we’d be way better off with paid accounts including @1Password & @Netlify. We also use @Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) for single-sign-on, calendaring, etc. and @Zoom_US for our many weekly calls.

So, yeah, it’s not a ton of money, but it adds up. We have a goal of getting to $256/month in sponsorships, which would cover 100% of our operating costs.

We’re currently at $80/month, so almost a third of the way there!

If you’re not in a position to sponsor right now, no worries! If you value what we do, consider amplifying this thread so more people see it.

Thank you so much for reading and supporting early-career developers!
