My family has donated $200,000 to the Open Source Endowment which launches today. Open source underpins critical infrastructure globally, and we need to pursue as many ways to sustainably fund it as possible; a single funding model doesn't cover all cases. https://endowment.dev
Open Source Endowment — World's First Endowment Fund for OSS

The Open Source Endowment provides truly sustainable funding for critical open source software through a community-driven endowment model.
