Support

According to the 2024 Tidelift State of the Open Source Maintainer Report, youth participation in the open source maintainer community is on the decline.

We believe today's youth will shape the future of open source, the backbone of our digital economy. Not just through code but through new ideas, values, and ways of working.

So if you're young and passionate about open source, we got you!

If you're an early-stage builder, OSS maintainer, student founder, university OSS club, or small project team, we help you with hands-on mentorship, community support, micro-grants, cloud credits, and resources.

Thanks to our amazing sponsors and network, we try to provide these resources (while we have access to them) to help you thrive in the open source ecosystem.

If the specific support you're looking for isn't available, we'll provide guidance and try our best to connect you with relevant folks in our network who can help.

Because we believe that no one should have to build alone. And everyone deserves the support they need to make their open source dreams a reality.
