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 two ways to help out financially:

1. Once-off donations
2. Buy swag

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

Once-off donations are gratefully accepted.

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.
