Liberapay

Liberapay is an open-source platform designed to facilitate recurring donations to creators, developers, and projects, with a strong emphasis on transparency, privacy, and sustainability. It operates as a nonprofit service that allows users to financially support individuals or teams on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis without expecting rewards in return. The platform is particularly focused on funding open-source software, free knowledge, and creative work, helping contributors maintain long-term projects through stable income streams. Liberapay distinguishes itself by not taking a commission from donations, instead relying on voluntary contributions to sustain the platform itself. It supports multiple currencies and integrates with payment processors such as Stripe and PayPal, enabling global participation. The system also includes features like team-based funding, pledges for users not yet registered, and public transparency of donation flows.
