[Qgis-user] Funding sources for QGIS development (local groups)

[Michał Żugajewicz]

Dear Colleagues!

I am reaching out with an interest in learning more about how local QGIS
user groups manage to secure funding and support for the development of the
software and related tools, such as plugins and custom applications.

Could you please share some insights into the typical sources of funding
that your group or related initiatives rely on? For example:

   -

   Do you receive support from public institutions such as municipalities,
   government agencies, or universities?
   -

   Are there private companies, consultancies, or NGOs that contribute
   financially to your activities or sponsor specific development projects?
   -

   Do you make use of grants, donations, or membership fees to sustain your
   work?
   -

   Have you engaged in partnerships with organizations that benefit from
   QGIS to co-finance the development of plugins or other tools?

I am particularly interested in understanding what models have proven
effective and sustainable for your group, and whether there are strategies
or best practices you would recommend for establishing these collaborations.

Thank you very much for your time and for any details you can share. Your
experience could be very helpful in shaping similar initiatives elsewhere 💚


Bests,
