Donate

This crowd funding campaign has three main objectives:

  • Fund the costs associated with running the Ubuntu MATE and MATE Desktop projects.
    • These include domain name registrations and service charges for things like the content delivery network, web application firewall and transactional email services used by the forums.
  • Fund the development of Ubuntu MATE and MATE Desktop via financial rewards for contributors to either project.
  • Help subsidise the travel expenses of team members to represent Ubuntu MATE and MATE Desktop at FLOSS conferences.
  • Support other Open Source projects that Ubuntu MATE depends upon.

Patrons will be rewarded with exclusive project news, updates and invited to participate in video conferences where you can talk to the developers directly.

We have set up a number of payment options that should hopefully suit everyone. Go on, be brilliant, help grow our community.

Patreon

This is a unique way to fund an Open Source community. A regular monthly income for the Ubuntu MATE project will allow us to better plan how best to reward our contributors and sponsor other Open Source projects.

We’d prefer you set-up a recurring payment to help ensure that monthly costs are always covered and it also allows us to better plan how to reward our contributors and sponsor other Open Source projects. That said, one time donations are also gratefully accepted.

NOTE! If you are considering a monthly recurring payment via PayPal then you should probably use the Ubuntu MATE Patreon to benefit from Patron rewards.
