NumFOCUS 2024 End-of-Year Campaign
Open Code for Better Science
Fueling the Future of Open Source Innovation
At NumFOCUS, we believe in a simple truth: Open Code = Better Science. Our End-of-Year Campaign is dedicated to recognizing the impact of open-source software across biotech, finance, astronomy, geophysics, AI, and more. We’re raising funds to support the open-source projects that power innovation and drive progress.
What Your Donation Supports
Contributions to our End-of-Year Campaign support immediate project needs through our Small Development Grants Program. Your help funds micro-grants that fuel scientific advancements, create better research tools, build stronger communities, and accelerate the development of new technologies. We also encourage you to use this opportunity to support an individual project.
