Donate/es

Below are the different donation options currently supported by the project. Remember, it is not required and will never be required to pay anything to use, study, distribute, modify FreeCAD, and FreeCAD does not require money to be developed. Donations, however, can help FreeCAD to grow faster and further.

Opciones

 * Hay una oficial Cuenta equipo FreeCAD; dona a través de tarjeta crédito, Paypal o transferencia bancaria SEPA. Todo el dinero que se reciba aquí se repartirá a partes iguales entre los desarrolladores de la lista. Esta es la mejor opción ya que ayuda a los desarrolladores directamente.


 * 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. Warning: Paypal just arbitrarily disabled our account, so it doesn't work at the moment. We're working as hard as we can to solve the issue..


 * 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.


 * 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.


 * Hay una cuenta Bountysource; dona dinero al proyecto FreeCAD en su conjunto, u ofrece una "recompensa" para solucionar un problema o fallo específico. Esta es una opción interesante porque tu donación puede ser utilizada específicamente en un área concreta. Sin embargo, el uso del dinero de Bountysource es un proceso más complejo para nosotros, y puede haber un retraso entre la donación y el uso efectivo de la misma.


 * Apoyar los costes de alojamiento web donando directamente a Jürgen Riegel's cuenta paypal. Jürgen es el desarrollador original de FreeCAD.


 * Algunos desarrolladores harán una tarea específica por dinero o pueden ser patrocinados para pasar tiempo trabajando en FreeCAD. Ha habido un par de experimentos exitosos en el pasado, como el Path Ambiente de trabajo o El experimento de financiación de Ian Rees. Por el momento, los siguientes desarrolladores pueden ser patrocinados:
 * Yorik vía patreonporange.png Patreon o Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay (Borrador, Arquitectura, BIM, IFC)
 * Kurt Kremitzki vía patreonporange.png Patreon o Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay (infraestructura, servidores, embalaje, Debian/Ubuntu)
 * Lei Zheng alias Realthunder vía PayPal, Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay o patreonporange.png Patreon (Enlace de la aplicación, Asamblea3)
 * Lorenz alias looooo vía Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay (FCGears ambiente de trabajo, Conda embalaje)
 * Amritpal Singh alias amrit3701 vía Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay o patreonporange.png Patreon (Complemento barra de refuerzo)
 * Brad Collette alias sliptonic vía Liberapay_logo.svg Liberapay o patreonporange.png Patreon (Ambiente de trabajo Trayectoria)

Trabajos

 * Puede que haya otros desarrolladores interesados en hacer un trabajo específico para el proyecto; si quieres acelerar el desarrollo de una idea o característica, considera la posibilidad de contratar a un desarrollador. Depende de ti construir una idea, discutirla en el foro y encontrar desarrolladores interesados en hacerla. Puedes ofrecer un trabajo en el Subforo de ofertas de trabajo.
 * Los trabajos de modelado también son bienvenidos. No todos los usuarios experimentados de FreeCAD son desarrolladores. Los usuarios experimentados pueden ayudar a migrar sus proyectos a FreeCAD, lo que contribuye a popularizar el software en las organizaciones. Ver FreeCAD usado en producción.

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 here, 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.

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.
