title: Announcing the Free Software Foundation fundraising program for Replicant
authors: Paul Kocialkowski
---
Over the last few years, we have been asked countless times how one could make
a donation to the project. Until very recently, it was not at all possible but
thanks to the hard work of the [Free Software Foundation][1] team, especially
John Sullivan and Zak Rogoff, it is now possible for the FSF to accept
[donations on the behalf of the Replicant project][2].
[Donations][3] will help us buy new devices and port Replicant to them as well
as help us attend free software events to promote Replicant at. Devices
donations can be accepted as well but we carefully select the devices we want
to work on, based on how much they respect freedom, so we might decline some
offers.
You might want to consider making a donation to our project, any amount will
help, from the [FSF directed donations page for Replicant][3].
Bitcoin donations are also accepted, at the following address:
`13tgjejUJ6NtQVX9HvKz8svdcuWPNwgr5T`
We also badly need new developers to help us bring Replicant to more and more
devices as well as improve the status of the currently-supported devices. As a
group effort, Replicant has better chances to succeed and bring freedom to
mobile phone users. We are currently a team of two developers with less and
less time to get involved in the project and bring new features. Becoming a
developer is not even that hard: we have [developer][4] and [porting
guides][5] available to make it easier for you to get started and we'll be
there to guide you all along. Even non-technical people can help to some
extent, covering tasks such as building up documentation or writing
announcements for the project if they're good enough at it.
Please get in touch with us if you're interested. The best way to start is
most likely to get a Replicant-supported device and start hacking on it and if
you prove serious enough, we might even use some of the donations money to
provide you with a new device to port Replicant to!
