Donate to OpenLP

Like most other voluntary open source projects, OpenLP has no income and is entirely funded by the personal funds of the developers. We have a number of fixed costs, like server hosting, domain names, and the like. If you'd like to help us out, please consider donating to our cause.

PayPal (Preferred)

You can donate via PayPal by clicking the button.

We also accept donations via debit or credit card.


Current Needs

The reality is that most of the donated money we receive is contributed toward various server costs, as detailed below. From time to time, however, we have additional needs that are usually financed by the OpenLP team themselves. Below are some of those needs, and whether or not we have purchased them already.
