Like most other voluntary open source projects, OpenLP has no income and is entirely funded by the personal funds of
the developers. We have a number of fixed costs, like server hosting, domain names, and the like. If you'd like to
help us out, please consider donating to our cause.

Current Needs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The reality is that most of the donated money we receive is contributed toward various server costs,
as detailed below. From time to time, however, we have additional needs that are usually financed
by the OpenLP team themselves. Below are some of those needs, and whether or not we have purchased
them already.
