Step 3 of 3

Choose your contribution

The Democratic Tech Fund runs entirely on gifts. Every contribution directly funds cooperative projects across our cities and regions. You can change or cancel at any time through OpenCollective.

Free membership

I'll contribute later

You're welcome to join without a financial contribution right now. Your commitment to the mission is what counts. You can set up a donation at any time through OpenCollective.

Suggested contribution model

€10 / month × number of staff = annual gift

This is a guideline — not a requirement. Contribute what is meaningful for your organisation. All contributions fund cooperative projects in your city and region.

€120 1 staff · /year

€600 5 staff · /year

€2,400 20 staff · /year

In-kind contributions

Does your organisation contribute expertise, infrastructure, or services rather than — or alongside — a financial gift? We welcome Contribution Agreements that formalise in-kind support. Get in touch to discuss what that might look like.
