1.13) How can I financially assist PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL has had a first-class infrastructure since we started five

years ago. This is all thanks to Marc Fournier, who has created and

managed this infrastructure over the years.

Quality infrastructure is very important to an open-source project. It

prevents disruptions that can greatly delay forward movement of the

project.

Of course, this infrastructure is not cheap. There are a variety of

monthly and one-time expenses that are required to keep it going. If

you or your company has money it can donate to help fund this effort,

please go to the following URL and make a donation:

Although the web page mentions PostgreSQL, Inc, the "contributions"

item is solely to support the PostgreSQL project and does not fund any

specific company. If you prefer, you can also send a check to the

contact address.
