Help ClassicPress Reach Fundraising Goal – We Need $294
Two weeks ago we launched a fundraising campaign to help ClassicPress with operating expenses.
Our goal is $1200/year or $100/month. In two weeks, 15 financial contributors helped raise 76% ($906) of our budget goal. This includes our first official sponsor – Brinkman IT.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE!
Now, we’re only $294 short of reaching our budget goal. Help us reach our goal, even $1 helps us get closer.
If you haven’t donated yet, this is the right time to show your support for a stable, lightweight CMS. ClassicPress needs you, just as much as you need ClassicPress.
All donations are tax-deductible in the US. Money raised helps ClassicPress pay for the infrastructure, domains, mailbox, and other minor administrative expenses. No dollar is wasted!
You have several options to donate, but you can specify a custom amount if you prefer:
- $5 one-time donation ›
- $10 one-time donation ›
- $20 one-time donation ›
- $3/mo recurring donation ›
- $7/mo recurring donation ›
If you use ClassicPress and love what it gives you, please consider donating. ClassicPress is a community-driven project. If you want ClassicPress to survive and thrive, donate!

Last year they had a sponsored donation-matched contribution round also which could help bring in extra funding in the future.</p>
<p>That’s what we’re using!</p>
<p>I think it would be nice to get more easily a more updated (maybe not the latest) information about the course of the donation campaign. One has now to open the Open Collective site and then do a search of ClassicPress. Or is it given elsewhere except this post? I am writing this comment, trying to be aware of the enourmous work done everyday to manage CP, not only this forum!</p>
<p>You can get up-to-date information from <a href="https://opencollective.com/classicpress">the page on Open Collettive</a>, that is linked directly from <a href="http://classicpress.net">classicpress.net</a> home page and from the donate button in GitHub <a href="https://github.com/ClassicPress/ClassicPress">repo</a> and <a href="https://github.com/ClassicPress/">org</a>.</p>
<p>Thank You, Simone for the links! Of course one gets the updated information also when does a donation. Yet I mean also that on the Dashboard of any CP site, at the section ClassicPress news one sees the quite outdated information (…we need $294).</p>
