Support Ubuntu Budgie

Help us keep
Budgie flying.

Every donation, large or small, helps fund development, infrastructure and the future of Ubuntu Budgie.

Open Collective Logo

Donate via Open Collective

Open Collective is our preferred donation platform. It provides full financial transparency — you can see exactly how every pound is spent, from developer payments to infrastructure costs.

Other ways to donate

Recurring donations and custom one-time donations are both available.

Paypal and Patreon are still active, but we encourage supporters to use Open Collective — it has lower commission fees, meaning maximum impact per donation.

Donors & Goals

We support open source and any money raised goes towards open source developers as well as Ubuntu Budgie itself. Full transparency is our goal.

Patreon donations are made visible on confirmation at the beginning of the next month. PayPal donations appear as soon as possible after receipt. We invest donations to provide a better product, support our developers, and keep the lights on.

Thank you — your support means the world to us.

To date, your donations have helped fund:

Purchase of the budgie-remix.org URL for one year (2016)
Purchase of the ubuntubudgie.org URL for four years (2016–2020)
budgie-remix.org three year extension (2017–2020)
Transfer of budgie-remix.org from WordPress to GoDaddy (2017–2020) — fully funded
Server fees for ubuntubudgie.org 2017 & 2018 — fully funded by our sponsor DigitalOcean

Server fees for ubuntubudgie.org 2019 — pending sponsorship

Long-term Goal — LTS Status. From 18.04, Long-Term Support is an option Ubuntu Budgie would love to provide to all users. To do this we need a financially sound 3-year model for each LTS release.

Funded Expected costs for 2018–2020 (18.04 LTS)
Funded Expected costs for 2021–2022 (20.04 LTS)
Not funded Expected costs for 2023 (22.04 LTS)

Ubuntu Budgie puts you — our community — front and center in everything we do. You can also support Ubuntu Budgie by buying merchandise from our official store on Zazzle: Ubuntu Budgie Store

A better desktop
awaits you.

No complicated setup, no steep learning curve. Just a clean, powerful OS ready to go from the first boot.
