What donations have made possible
Beyond day-to-day running costs, community donations have directly funded:
- Registering the Owncast trademark
- Creating illustrations, designs, and videos
- Producing stickers, pins, and flyers for conferences and meetups
What more support could make possible
With more dependable funding, we could:
Connect with communities in person
Cover travel to conferences and meetups to share Owncast, learn from streamers, and meet potential contributors.
Support independent events
Sponsor Owncast livestreaming servers for indie events, helping communities stream without depending on commercial platforms.
Funding priorities
Current funding goals
These goals are published by Owncast on Open Collective. Budget estimates are distinct from current monthly recurring support.
Estimated monthly budget
Fund development time
Reach a level of financial support where Owncast can begin paying the primary developer for some of the time he spends developing and maintaining the project. He's currently unemployed, so this would be a huge deal.

Corporate sponsorship
Does your organization believe in independent livestreaming? We welcome corporate sponsors who want to help sustain Owncast.
Long-term sponsorship can make full-time development possible. Owncast remains independent and open source, with project decisions made by its maintainers.
