A Year-End Triumph

Our recent year-end fundraiser and membership drive have been nothing short of triumphant. The response from our community has been overwhelming, with over 300 individual donations pouring in. Combined with new Supporting Memberships, renewals, and the invaluable match from JetBrains, we have successfully raised a remarkable $61,868. This financial support serves as the bedrock for our endeavors in supporting and enhancing the world of Python and its vibrant community.

Global Reach: We aim to deepen our impact on a global scale, fostering connections and collaborations across borders.
Community Support: We aspire to extend our support to a wider array of community endeavors, recognizing the diverse talents and initiatives within our community.
Sustainability: Our commitment to making Python more sustainable encompasses both infrastructure and security. We envision a robust and secure Python ecosystem that stands the test of time.

Community investment goes beyond financial contributions; it includes your time, energy, ideas, and enthusiasm. We encourage everyone to consider becoming a Supporting Member, a meaningful way to invest in the future of our endeavors.
