See our SponsorsWays to donate
We accept donations through the following sites.
How the money is used
The ESLint project uses donated money to benefit the project and the ESLint community as a whole. In general, we spend money on these areas each month.
Team Development
We pay our team members an hourly rate based on their seniority, currently 80 USD/hour for TSC members and Reviewers and undefined USD/hour for committers. Team members are paid for a maximum of undefined hours per month.
Contributor Pool
We set aside 10% of our monthly income to pay outside contributors who have made significant contributions to the project. Contributions include submitting code, writing documentation, answering questions in our Discord server, and more. This money is allocated each month by the TSC.
Dependencies
We set aside 5% of our monthly income to help support our dependencies. We believe that open source projects who are lucky enough to get funded have a responsibility to help support the smaller projects they rely on.
Community Projects
We set aside 5% of our monthly income to help support plugins, parsers, and other projects that are of benefit to the ESLint ecosystem as a whole. We believe the strength of the project is in its ecosystem and we want to ensure important projects remain well-maintained.
Support Systems
We use a small amount each month to pay for software the team uses to help manage the project, which includes things like Google Workspace and cloud storage.
Donation tiers
While we accept donations of any size, we do have a tier system with different rewards at each level.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the product and billing. Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Please chat to our friendly team.
All contributions, whether donated through Open Collective or GitHub, are received by the Open Source Collective, which is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization. The Open Source Collective acts as a fiscal host for ESLint and keeps track of all donations.
Yes. If you donate through Open Collective, you will receive a PDF receipt via email; if you donate through GitHub, the donation will appear on your receipt or invoice.
No. Even though the Open Source Collective is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization, the IRS doesn't consider development of open source software to be a charitable activity and therefore doesn’t grant tax-exempt status.
The TSC makes all decisions regarding who receives the money and how much is distributed.
Yes. By going to our Open Collective page, you can see every expense that has been submitted and paid. All transactions are completely open and publicly visible.
Yes. There is no long-term commitment. You can cancel your donation at any time by logging into either Open Collective or GitHub sponsors.
The logos on the homepage and GitHub are automatically updated every day so it should take no longer than 24 hours to appear. The logos on the npm package are only updated when we publish a new release, which is typically every two weeks. However, major releases often take several months to complete and during that time logos on the npm package will not be updated.
We pull the logo and URL from your Open Collective or GitHub profiles, depending on which site you used to donate. You can update these at any time from within Open Collective or GitHub and those changes will be reflected on the homepage and GitHub README within 24 hours. We aren't able to manually override logos or URLs on the site.
Yes. The easiest way to make a one-time donation is through Open Collective, which allows any amount. GitHub one-time donations may have a limit on the amount you can donate.
