Support Leaf's Development

Leaf began in 2019 as a project to simplify API development but has since expanded to include a suite of open-source tools like the Leaf PHP framework and Hanabira.

We are committed to keeping all this open-source and free, but maintaining and developing new features now requires significant time and resources. As the project has grown, so have the costs, which have been mostly covered by the team. To sustain and grow Leaf, we need your help to support full-time maintainers.

Become a sponsor and help us grow the Leaf ecosystem with more features, better support, and ongoing updates while keeping it free and accessible for everyone.

How to Sponsor

You can support Leaf through GitHub Sponsors or OpenCollective, where your contributions go into a transparent fund supporting community initiatives, events, and core Leaf activities. Both recurring monthly sponsorships and one-time donations are welcome. Recurring sponsors also enjoy benefits like logo placements, as outlined in our Sponsorship Tiers. Your support directly fuels the growth and sustainability of Leaf and its community.

Sponsoring Leaf as a Business

Sponsoring Leaf gives you great exposure to all Leaf developers around the world through our website and GitHub project READMEs. In addition, supporting OSS improves the reputation of your brand, which is an important asset for any company that interacts with developers.

If you are using Leaf to build a revenue-generating product, it makes business sense to sponsor Leaf's development: it ensures the project that your product relies on stays healthy and actively maintained. The exposure and positive brand image in the Leaf community also makes it easier to attract and recruit developers.

You can join our Premium Sponsorship 🍁 tier which gives you the following perks:

• Your logo on our README on GitHub and our website
• A personalized shoutout on our social media channels & newsletters
• Mention in our monthly progress reports
• Mention in every release annoucement
• Dedicated first priority support from the Leaf team.
