🍁 Secure payment by Stripe

Help others take back control of their data.

Families, freelancers, community groups: many would like to leave the big suites but don’t know where to start. Your gifts fund their migration, frugal hosting in Québec, and the open-source tools that make it possible.

Why a regular gift helps so much Servers and GPUs are booked months ahead. A gift that comes back tells us how many waitlist places we can open without having to close them again. Even $15 a quarter hosts mail for five people for a whole year. Why quarterly? Stripe keeps 2.9% + $0.30 per payment: on $5 a month that’s 9% of your gift; on $15 a quarter, 5%. For small amounts, quarterly leaves more for the project.
