| 24 | +## Where the money goes |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +D2 is free and open source. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Donations support: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- Keeping d2lang.com, the Playground, icons, and other public tools online. |
| 31 | +- Maintaining build, package, and distribution infrastructure. |
| 32 | +- Supporting open-source projects that D2 depends on. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Fund usage is transparent. D2 was created by Alexander Wang and Anmol Sethi, |
| 35 | +and Alexander is currently the maintainer. It was originally developed as part |
| 36 | +of our work in a for-profit company, Terrastruct, but is now split into its own |
| 37 | +independent project, funded purely through donations. Nothing will go towards |
| 38 | +either of us; I work on D2 out of passion, not as a source of income. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Hack Club charges a 7% fee for maintaining the nonprofit organization. They do |
| 41 | +wonderful work providing community, programs, and events for teenagers to |
| 42 | +participate in real world tech. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +## How the fund works |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +The [D2 fund](https://hcb.hackclub.com/d2) is public: you can see its balance and every |
| 47 | +transaction. Hack Club handles the fund and nonprofit administration. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Sponsoring D2 does not affect its roadmap, governance, or license. D2 remains open source |
| 50 | +under the |
| 51 | +[Mozilla Public License 2.0](https://github.com/d2lang/d2/blob/master/LICENSE.txt), and |
| 52 | +development happens in public on [GitHub](https://github.com/d2lang/d2). |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +## Companies |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +If your company uses D2, it can donate through the same fund. Want to make a larger |
| 57 | +donation or contribute infrastructure or services? Email me at |
