## Sponsorship
[Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/zmkfirmware)
[Pete Johanson](https://github.com/sponsors/petejohanson)
(detail what is used for what)
While ZMK is an open source project that uses the permissive MIT license, below are opportunities for anyone who would like to show their support to the project financially.
### Open Collective
The ZMK project has an [Open Collective sponsorship](https://opencollective.com/zmkfirmware) that has been going for two and a half years.
This fund helps pay for project costs like domain registration or development of hardware such as the [ZMK Uno shield](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk-uno).
Note that donations to this fund do _not_ pay for the work of any individual contributor directly.
### Contributor sponsorships
Project creator and lead Pete Johanson has a [GitHub sponsorship](https://github.com/sponsors/petejohanson) set up that you can contribute to, in order to directly support his time and efforts in developing and maintaining ZMK.
He has also been traveling full time while focusing on ZMK and keyboard hardware design for more than a year now!
If you are curious, you can check out [his blog post](https://petejohanson.dev/blog/new-journey-2022) on deciding to embark on this adventure, in addition to his thoughts on contributor vs. project sponsorship, and sustainability of open source projects in general.
## Thanks!
