Bountysource

Bountysource is the funding platform for open source software. We accelerate open source software through two separate avenues: bounties and fundraisers.

Bounties are cash rewards for specific bug fixes or specific feature requests that encourage development. You can either create a bounty and get bugs fixed and new features added sooner. A little bit goes a long way with crowd-funding, and through this we attract new developers and grow the OSS community.

Fundraisers are time-limited campaigns that allow open-source developers to raise money from their community. Pitch your project, describe what you want to do and set a funding goal. Offer rewards to encourage pledges. You can get money for your project by tapping into the community. Tweet it. Blog it. Share it. Find corporate sponsors. Get featured on our homepage. And finally, let us handle your rewards–we can print and ship your t-shirts and stickers.

We believe we're helping grow the open source software community, one bounty and fundraiser at a time.
