Contribute to the D Language Foundation

The D Language Foundation is a 501(c) non-profit public charity devoted to advancing open source technology related to the D programming language.

The D Language Foundation:

holds and defends the copyright and other intellectual property rights for the D programming language.
provides resources for furthering the development and adoption of the D programming language.
awards scholarships to highly skilled students.
organizes the yearly DConf, the international annual conference of D Language developers and users.
pays for hardware costs (e.g. this website, dmd downloads, the D tour and more).
is an accepted Google Summer of Code (GSOC) organization, with projects hosted during GSOC 2016 and GSOC 2019.

We are always in search of ways to improve the D programming language experience for new and existing D users. Whether that means hiring programmers to carry out contract work, sponsoring bounties on specific tasks, providing scholarships for students performing D-related research, or anything else that benefits the D community and ecosystem, we cannot make any of it happen without funding. We welcome contributions from both organizations and individuals. Your help is highly appreciated and is what enables the D Language Foundation to fulfill its mission.

How will my donation be used?

Donations go toward supporting the D Language Foundation's regular, non-sponsored operations (DConf expenses, part-time workers, blog post bounties, reimbursements, etc.). One of the important ways we make use of donations is in awarding scholarships to highly skilled students. Each $5 you donate contributes to approximately one hour of work by a talented graduate student, and these hours add quickly toward important projects that further the state of the art in the D programming language.

How can I donate?

Donate through GitHub Sponsors

The D Language Foundation is a non-profit organization

By the Foundation bylaws, its officers (Walter Bright, Andrei Alexandrescu and Ali Çehreli) cannot receive income from the Foundation, which preempts a variety of conflicts of interest.

For US taxpayers, contributions to the D Language Foundation are tax-deductible. The D Language Foundation is a 501(c) non-profit public charity registered in the state of Washington, USA. You should consult your tax adviser for rules as they apply to your situation.

Donations to the D Language Foundation are currently not tax-deductible in most other countries as they require an organisation to be incorporated in that country and the D Language Foundation does currently not have the resources to do so.

If you have a question about donations, please write to the D Language Foundation at [email protected].
