Did you know that your support for the FreeBSD Foundation directly improves the FreeBSD you use every day?​

FreeBSD doesn’t just happen. It’s built, tested, maintained, secured, and improved by a global community. Your donation helps make that possible in ways that directly benefit you, including:

• A stronger, more reliable FreeBSD. More than half of the Foundation’s budget goes directly into software development projects, such as advancing laptop and desktop usability and strengthening security.
• Smoother updates and releases you can count on. Your support keeps FreeBSD’s build, testing, and CI infrastructure running, ensuring stable upgrades and dependable releases.
• A community that strengthens the system you rely on. Your donation helps grow contributor participation, expand education and events, and keep the ecosystem healthy for the long term.

When FreeBSD grows stronger, the systems and projects you build on top of it do too. FreeBSD is powered by its community and supported by you.

Please consider donating today! We can’t do it without you.

Sincerely,
Deb Goodkin
Executive Director
FreeBSD Foundation
