DataNucleus is an Open Source development. It is written by volunteers in their spare time. They receive no payment for their development work (both providing the software, and for their time answering your questions on the forum), and as a user you are benefiting from this effort. The DataNucleus project additionally incurs some costs in providing this software, in terms of hosting, and domain registration.
As an alternative to joining with us in writing DataNucleus, the DataNucleus project is open to receive donations to help fund the project. These donations will initially cover the expenses incurred by hosting etc, but can be targeted at particular bug fixes, feature requests, or providing email support to aid your project use of DataNucleus. Thanks for your support.
The first way to donate is to make a bank transfer, and you can arrange this by contacting one of the project administrators using the email donations [AT] datanucleus [DOT] org
The second way to donate is to use Stripe. The disadvantage of Stripe is that a (small) percentage of any monies donated is taken by Stripe. If you wish to donate to the DataNucleus project go to this payment form.
Below is a list of donors who have supported the DataNucleus project by way of monetary donations. If you donate you can have your name or company name listed here. Donating 50 GBP or more means that you can have your name or company name hyper-linked.
