# <i class="fa fa-heart heart"></i> Donations to the rclone project

We're very pleased to receive donations, which allow us to continue
developing rclone as free open source software.

Donations from individuals that rclone has helped make us very happy.
Donations from companies that use rclone or bundle it in their
products are very welcome too as are donations from cloud providers
rclone supports.

Maintaining rclone is a lot of work - easily a **full time
job**. Nothing stands still in the world of cloud storage! We love
doing the work and we'd like to spend more time doing it - your
support helps make that possible.

## Contribute Monthly

Monthly donations help keep rclone development sustainable in the long run.
