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.

There are three types of donations:

1. Once-off donations
2. Regular donations
3. Buy swag

Once-off Donations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Once-off donations are gratefully accepted.

Regular Donations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
While once-off donations are nice, regular donations are much more useful to us. They help to cover our month-to-month
costs.

Buy Swag
^^^^^^^^
One other way you can help us financially is by buying stuff from our online store. There are T-shirts, cups, hats,
USB drives, and other things for sale, and all proceeds go to OpenLP.

Regular Costs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Here's a breakdown of our regular costs:

1. $20/month for a `VPS from Linode.com`_, which we'd like to upgrade to the next level, which will cost us $40/month.
2. $10/month for a `backup service`_, also from Linode.com.
3. $17/year for our main domain, `openlp.org`_. See `Gandi.net's pricing page`_ for information on domain name costs.
4. $35/year for our developer domain, `openlp.io`_.

This comes to roughly $8 per week. To be able to upgrade to the next level, we will need roughly $12.50 per week.
