> I donated Home Assistant to it[1]. It's fully funded by users. There are no investors involved.
I cannot thank you enough for this. It was a bit risky adopting Home Assistant for everything ~two years ago, but that you guys did this move really makes me feel less scared about eventually having to replace it with something else.
I'm subscribed to Home Assistant Cloud (via Nabu Casa) even though I don't use it just because it seems to be one of the few ways to financially support you, is there any way of doing one time donations to the foundation itself?
We don't want to come to rely on donations and have to show Wikipedia-style beg banners in our app (I would personally hate to see that myself).
So with the limited resources that we have, we currently only consider bigger donations valued $10k or more. We've had monetary donations from DuckDuckGo and Espressif so far.
I didn't get the begging feeling from using Blender, though it has been some years ago. IIRC they focused on donations for specific features and showpieces like their movies.
As a very happy Home Assistant user, hopefully you can manage something similar so you have enough money to stay afloat and keep up the good work.
