How we are funded #

To sustain and grow our operations, 2i2c receives funding from the following sources:

• Membership - Communities join 2i2c’s network to collaborate with our team and peer organizations, pool resources toward shared open source needs, and help drive the direction of the tools that research depends on. It includes managed open infrastructure via our community hub platform. See our membership page for more information.
• Co-funded development projects - Members and funders invest in specific development work that addresses shared infrastructure challenges on our roadmap, with improvements flowing back upstream to the open source communities we all rely on.
• Core organizational support - We raise philanthropic funding to cover core organizational costs. Our long-term goal is to fund operations entirely through the membership and co-development flywheel, and we’re actively working toward that.
