Donate/it

Below are the different donation options currently supported by the project. Remember, it will never be required to pay money to use, study, distribute or develop FreeCAD. Donations however help FreeCAD and its developers to dedicate time and ressources to make the project grow faster and further.

Opzioni

 * C'è un conto ufficiale Conto della squadra FreeCAD; dona tramite carta di credito, Paypal o bonifico bancario SEPA. Ogni denaro ricevuto qui viene diviso equamente tra gli sviluppatori elencati. Questa è l'opzione migliore perché aiuta direttamente gli sviluppatori.


 * PayPal Logo Icon 2014.svg FreeCAD has an official PayPal account where you can donate any amount by credit card or your own Paypal account, one time only or recurrently. The PayPal account is managed by the FPA. Paypal is a convenient platform but charges a fee on what FreeCAD receives.


 * SepaLogoEN.jpg FreeCAD has an Euro bank account where you can transfer money directly via your own banking application. The IBAN number is BE04 0019 2896 4531, owned by the FreeCAD project association. The bank agency is BNP Paribas Fortis, address: Rue de la Station 64, 1360 Perwez, Belgium, BIC/SWIFT code: GEBABEBBXXX


 * Opencollective_logo.svg FreeCAD has an official OpenCollective PayPal account where you can donate any amount, one time only or recurrently, via credit card, SEPA transfer or Paypal. The OpenCollective account is managed by the FPA. OpenCollective is a good option as it is independent and used by many open-source projects. OpenCollective is also a 501(c) non-profit organization and can issue donation receipts useful for US taxpayers.


 * GitHub.svg GitHub sponsors is a sponsoring platform offered by GitHub, where the FreeCAD source code is hosted. There you can donate any amount monthly to FreeCAD, via credit card or Paypal. The GitHub sponsors account is managed by the FPA.


 * C'è un conto Bountysource; donare denaro al progetto FreeCAD nel suo complesso, o offrire una "taglia" per risolvere un problema specifico o un bug. Questa è un'opzione interessante perché la tua donazione può essere usata specificamente in un'area particolare. Tuttavia, utilizzare il denaro di Bountysource è un processo più complesso per noi, e potrebbe esserci un ritardo tra la donazione e il vedere la tua donazione utilizzata efficacemente.


 * Stripe-logo.png FreeCAD has a Stripe donation account where you can make a one-time donation via a credit card.


 * Sostieni i costi di web hosting donando direttamente a conto paypal di Jürgen Riegel. Jürgen è lo sviluppatore originale di FreeCAD.


 * Alcuni sviluppatori svolgeranno un compito specifico in cambio di denaro o possono essere sponsorizzati per passare del tempo a lavorare su FreeCAD. Ci sono stati un paio di esperimenti di successo in passato, come il Ambiente Path o Esperimento di finanziamento di Ian Rees. Al momento, i seguenti sviluppatori possono essere sponsorizzati:
 * Yorik via patreonporange.png Patreon o Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay (Ambiente Draft, Ambiente Architettura, BIM, IFC)
 * Kurt Kremitzki via patreonporange.png Patreon o Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay (infrastruttura, server, imballaggio, Debian/Ubuntu)
 * Lei Zheng alias Realthunder via PayPal, Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay o patreonporange.png Patreon (App Link, Assembly3)
 * Lorenz alias looooo via Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay (FCGears ambiente, Conda imballaggio)
 * Amritpal Singh alias amrit3701 via Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay o patreonporange.png Patreon (Addizione Armatura)
 * Brad Collette alias sliptonic via Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay o patreonporange.png Patreon (Path Ambiente)

Lavori

 * Ci potrebbero essere altri sviluppatori interessati a fare un lavoro specifico per il progetto; se volete accelerare lo sviluppo di un'idea o di una caratteristica, considerate di assumere uno sviluppatore. Sta a te costruire un'idea, discuterla sul forum e trovare sviluppatori interessati a farlo. Puoi offrire un lavoro nel Job offers subforum.
 * Anche i lavori di modellazione sono benvenuti. Non tutti gli utenti esperti di FreeCAD sono sviluppatori. Gli utenti esperti possono aiutare a migrare i progetti a FreeCAD, il che contribuisce a rendere popolare il software nelle organizzazioni. Vedi FreeCAD usato nella produzione

Sponsoring
We call sponsoring the act of donating money recurrently to the FreeCAD project. You can do that as an individual or as a company or institution, through different channels or platforms, depending on your preferences. You can sponsor FreeCAD via the sponsoring page.

Sponsoring FreeCAD allows its developers to count on a steady flow of income, so it allows the FPA to plan things ahead, and the FreeCAD developers to invest themselves more seriously into FreeCAD.

To encourage persons and companies to sponsor the FreeCAD project, we have created different sponsoring tiers. By donating regularly to the project, you will have the possibility to have your name, company name and/or logo to be featured on the FreeCAD website, depending on the tier you fit into:


 * ♥ Normal sponsor: from 1 USD / 1 EUR per month. You will not have your name displayed on the sponsors page, but you will have helped the project a lot anyway. Together, normal sponsors maintain the project on its feet as much as the bigger sponsors.
 * 🥉 Bronze sponsor: from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Allows you to have your name or company name displayed on the sponsors page.
 * 🥈 Silver sponsor: from 100 USD / 100 EUR per month. Allows you to have your name or company name displayed on the sponsors page, with a link to your website, and a one-line description text.
 * 🥇 Gold sponsor: from 200 USD / 200 EUR per month. Allows you to have your name or company name and logo displayed on the sponsors page, with a link to your website and a custom description text. Companies that have helped FreeCAD early on will also appear under Gold sponsors.

Instead of donating each month, you might find it more comfortable to make a one-tine donation that, when divided by twelve, would give you right to enter a sponsoring tier. Don't hesitate to do so!

The FPA
The FreeCAD project association (FPA) is a non-profit association created in 2022 by FreeCAD's administrators and core developers and seated in Belgium. It is responsible for transparently collecting, handling and distributing the money collected via donations. More details and reports are available on the FPA page. Excepting the LiberaPay team account, which is directly manager by its members, all other donation channels above are handled and managed by the FPA.

Tax deductions
The FPA, although it is a non-profit organization, is not a charity organization. People and companies donating to the FPA are therefore not entitled to a tax deduction by Belgian law. Each country, however, has its own rules and laws to decide upon what gives their citizen right to tax reduction or not. You are always advised to consult the laws of your own country.

U.S. citizens and companies can however benefit from tax deductions when donating to FreeCAD. For this, you need to choose the OpenCollective platform above. OpenCollective is a 501(c)3 organization, and provides tax deductions receipts.

The FPA can anyway always issue a donation receipt. [mailto:fpa@freecad.org Mail us] with your donation details and we will gladly send you a receipt.
