Like many open-source projects, DDEV faces the challenge of sustainability. We need consistent funding to maintain the level of support and rapid response to technology changes that you depend on. <strong>Your financial support directly funds the full-time maintainers who keep DDEV working seamlessly with the latest PHP versions, databases, and frameworks.</strong>

<h2 id="financial-support">🎯 Financial Support</h2>

<p>
<strong>Why Financial Support Matters:</strong> DDEV requires two full-time maintainers to provide the level of support and responsiveness you depend on. We actively maintain compatibility with rapidly changing upstream technologies—PHP 8.5, PostgreSQL 18, MariaDB 11.8, and emerging frameworks—often before you even realize these changes could break your workflow.
</p>

<p>
<strong>Our Current Goal:</strong> We need <strong>$12,000/month</strong> to fully fund both maintainers. We're currently at $7,800/month. Your contribution directly ensures DDEV's sustainability and continued excellence.
