## The Samvera Community persists because of many types of contributions – of code, volunteer time, and money – that maintain our community infrastructure.


### Financial Contributions

Samvera infrastructure is supported by [Samvera Partner dues](https://samvera.org/the-community/samvera-partners) as well as contributions from other institutions that value the community. Contributions are always welcome and appreciated. See the latest [Samvera Annual Report](https://samvera.org/news-and-events/samvera-annual-report) for details of how Samvera uses contributed funds.

To make a one-time or annual contribution outside of Partnership, please [contact Heather Greer Klein, Samvera Community Manager](mailto:[email protected]).


#### Thank you to our 2024 Donors:



* Columbia University Libraries
* University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Libraries

We also [accept direct contributions to the Julie Allinson Award fund](https://samvera.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/samvera/pages/1851293697/The+Julie+Allinson+Award) from individuals and institutions.


### Code Contributions
