The Sourceware PLC reviewed all feedback and we now have:

- https://sourceware.org/donate.html
  The individual donation page. Please donate if you haven't yet.
  Every contribution makes a difference.

- https://sourceware.org/sponsor.html
  The corporate sponsorship page. With three different tiers.
  If your company would like to become a financial sponsor, or become
  a resource partner please contact us at sponsor@sourceware.org

- https://sourceware.org/financials.html
  Sourceware financials, budget and funding targets for 2026/2027.

Next week, start of next month, we'll start a formal fundraising
campaign.

Cheers,

Mark
