ESLint is maintained by folks in their spare time and relies on donations in order to pay those contributors. The total amount of money ESLint receives in a year is less than one senior software engineer's total compensation package in the United States. In order for ESLint to continue to be developed and maintained, we need you to talk to your company about sponsoring ESLint. 4 comments
@nzakas My experience trying to get my organisation to set up a donation for an open source project... won't work. Management doesn't understand donations. How about offering a license? It can be a license for something insanely silly, say the Enterprise Documentation Addendum. Devs understand open source and they can go, hey, we use this and now we need this license. A license is something Management and Finance are accustomed to and a proposal/request won't hit total blank stares there. @fschaap @nzakas It depends on how much your finance/procurement team knows about mission critical software. As soon as they hear it's an open source package, they interpret that as free, and maintained by volunteers. In corporate America there is no concept of being seen as supporting things that are available to everyone, but they fall all over themselves to sponsor 5k runs and naming sports venues, because that comes out of the marketing budget. Maybe it's time to stop updating packages .. |

If every company where ESLint was used donated just $100 each month, we'd have more than enough to fund the project on an ongoing basis. Especially if your company incorporates ESLint into a paid product, we'd love to have you as a sponsor and partner going forward.
All of the information you need to know about the project, how we use the funds, and how to become a sponsor, can be found here:

I'm always happy to hop on a call to discuss with any potential sponsor.
