Defold Community Donations

The Defold Foundation is funding Defold development through community donations, corporate partners, partnership deals and support contracts. The funds received from donations are used for hiring developers to work on Defold, pay for hosting of services, purchase of hardware for testing and development and to pay for travel expenses when attending conferences.

The Defold community of individuals and teams of developers are invited to support Defold development through one-time or recurring donations, starting at $3 per month up to a maximum of $250 per month.
