# {{< icon "fa fa-heart heart" >}} Donations to the rclone project
|
|
|
|
Rclone is a free open-source project with thousands of contributions
|
|
from volunteers all round the world and I would like to thank all of
|
|
you for donating your time to the project.
|
|
|
|
However, maintaining rclone is a lot of work - easily the equivalent
|
|
of a **full time job** - for me. Nothing stands still in the world of
|
|
cloud storage. Rclone needs constant attention adapting to changes by
|
|
cloud providers, adding new providers, adding new features, keeping
|
|
the integration tests working, fixing bugs and many more things!
|
|
|
|
I love doing the work and I'd like to spend more time doing it - your
|
|
support helps make that possible.
|
|
|
|
Thank you :-)

## Personal users
|
|
|
|
If you are a personal user and you would like to support the project
|
|
with sponsorship as a way of saying thank you that would be most
|
|
appreciated. {{< icon "fa fa-heart heart" >}}
|
|
|
|
## Business users
|
|
|
|
If your business distributes rclone as part of its products (which the
|
|
generous MIT licence allows) or uses it internally then it would make
|
|
business sense to sponsor the rclone project to ensure that the
|
|
project you rely on stays healthy and well maintained.
|
|
|
|
If you run one of the cloud storage providers that rclone supports and
|
|
rclone is driving revenue your way then you know it makes sense to
|
|
sponsor the project. {{< icon "far fa-smile" >}}

|
Note that if you choose the "GitHub Sponsors" option they will provide
|
|
proper tax invoices appropriate for your country.
|
|
|
|
## Monthly donations
|
|
|
|
Monthly donations help keep rclone development sustainable in the long
|
|
run so this is the preferred option. A small amount every month is
|
|
much better than a one off donation as it allows planning for the
|
|
future.

## One off donations
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to contribute monthly then of course we'd love a one
|
|
off donation.
