# Backing Directus
|
|
|
|
> Directus is both _premium_ and _free_ — two things that don't often go together. It takes
|
|
> significant resources to maintain and advance the platform. If you'd like to help keep Directus
|
|
> active and open-source please consider supporting it through one of the methods below.
|
|
|
|
## Financial Support
|
|
|
|
Talented full-time and part-time staff, infrastructure, and third-party services are just some of
|
|
our organization's expenses, and revenue from our Cloud services and donations from sponsors doesn't
|
|
fully cover those costs. Below are a few ways to help us keep the lights on and move towards
|
|
self-sufficiency.
|
|
|
|
### GitHub Sponsors
|
|
|
|
Monthly donations via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/directus) are the most reliable
|
|
form of financial support. Donate to the organization, or directly to our core developers!
|
|
|
|
- [Directus](https://github.com/sponsors/directus) — Organization
|
|
- [rijkvanzanten](https://github.com/rijkvanzanten) — Technical Lead
|
|
- [WoLfulus](https://github.com/WoLfulus) — DevOps
|
|
- [Nitwel](https://github.com/Nitwel) — Developer
|
|
|
|
### Sponsored Work
|
|
|
|
[Commissioned Features](/getting-started/support#commissioned-features) and
|
|
[Expedited Fixes](/getting-started/support-expedited-features) are great ways to financially support
|
|
the development of Directus, and improve the codebase for the community.
|
|
|
|
### Merch
|
|
|
|
Our merchandise is a great way to support Directus — you get some swag, and we get some financial
|
|
support and advertising. Simply make an appropriate financial donation through
|
|
[GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/directus), message us with sizing/shipping details,
|
|
and we'll get it shipped!
|
|
|
|
## Other Contributions
|
|
|
|
Below are several ways anyone can help improve our ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
### Code Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
Squashing bugs, optimizing the codebase, increasing test coverage, and adding new features, are all
|
|
extremely valuable. Not technical? We have plenty of documentation that can always use some extra
|
|
attention. Learn more in our [Contributors Guide](/getting-started/contributing).
|
|
|
|
### Translations
|
|
|
|
Every translation enables users in new languages to use our international platform. Our
|
|
[Crowdin integration](https://locales.directus.io) makes polishing existing translations or creating
|
|
new ones a breeze.
|
|
|
|
### Bug Reporting
|
|
|
|
If you encounter an issue within Directus, no matter how small, we would love to hear about it.
|
|
Proper bug reporting helps our team assess the platform's stability.

### Brand Advocacy
|
|
|
|
You can create _perfect_ software, but if no one knows about it, it's all for naught. Marketing and
|
|
advertising are expensive, but you can help us avoid these costs with the following quick options:
|
|
|
|
- **GitHub Stars** — The primary metric by which we measure our success. It only takes five
|
|
seconds to head to [directus/directus](https://github.com/directus/directus) and click the star
|
|
— enough in a short period of time and Directus gets featured on GitHub's trending page!
|
|
- **Social Posts** — A quick post mentioning [@directus](https://twitter.com/directus) goes a long
|
|
way, and we re-tweet the team's favorite shout-outs to our 35K+ followers.
|
|
- **Testimonials** — _One sentence._ Even that was a sentence, and it was only two words! If
|
|
you're a fan of Directus, we'd love to hear why with a short endorsement. Shoot us an
|
|
[email](mailto:info@directus.io), [Tweet](https://twitter.com/directus), or
|
|
[Discord](https://directus.chat) message with your name, title, and company.
