Help us bring KDE’s software catalogue into the mainstream! Plasma 6 is a stable, usable and accessible desktop environment that brings us closer to meeting the needs of private citizens, companies and public institutions
Apart from our amazing desktop, our catalogue of apps contains software that will help you be productive, keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues, develop your creativity and have fun.
70% of our funding comes from private users like you who support what we do. Your donation will help KDE software achieve worldwide acceptance.

Adopt a KDE dragon
Since time immemorial, the KDE dragons have inspired Free Software advocates and contributors, helping them write better code, educate others about their rights and freedoms, and fighting unscrupulous tech companies with dubious morals.
Now you too can enjoy the company and counsel of a KDE dragon! Contribute €100 to our fundraiser, write the name of your preferred dragon in the comment, and and it will be sent to your home!
WARNING: KDE dragons are not toys!… Well, actually yes, yes they are*. Enjoy.
NOTE that we will not be able to send dragons from the EU (where we are located) to countries with "problematic" posting rules, like Iran, North Korea, Russia, etc.. If you are in one of these countries and still want to adopt, we can hold and take care of your dragon for you until you come to an event where we are present, like FOSDEM or Akademy.
* CHOKING HAZARD WARNING: KDE dragons contain small parts that may come off if forcefully ripped. These parts can be a choking hazard, hence KDE dragons are not apt for children 3 or younger.
… Or Adopt a KDE Kaiju🦖!!!
You can also adopt a KDE Kaiju… If you think you can handle it!
This behemoth towers a full 25 centimeters (10 inches) tall and can support you through the most persistent bugs, the harshest FOSDEMs, and the most annoying flamewars about whether indentation should be done with tabs or spaces.
Contribute €200 to our fundraiser, write the name of your preferred Kaiju in the comment, and it will be sent to your home!

There are three (3) completely “different” Kaijus to choose from:

Vad vi vill uppnå
We consider all the following important, not only for us, but for the rest of our fellow humans. We are not so vain as to believe we have all the solutions to the world’s problems, but we will do our part. When you donate, you enable us to better carry out these tasks in your name.
Produce first-class software
KDE is on the verge of something big, and the popularity of its free software is on the rise. It’s increasingly being adopted by gamers, artists, professionals, companies, and public institutions. But the costs associated with developing and maintaining that software are also growing.
Your donation keeps KDE “in business” and our software sustainable for generations to come.
Keep you in control
A core aim of KDE is keeping you in control of your digital life, and we do it by providing high-quality and privacy-conscious free software. But we can only keep doing it by preserving our own financial independence, so that we never become too dependent on any single source of support.
Your donation makes KDE truly independent. Funding from the people allows us keep KDE developed by the people, of the people, and for the people.
Städa världen
We all want a clean planet, right? We started the End of 10 campaign because big tech corporations continue pushing everyone to chase whatever is new and shiny… in the process filling landfills with perfectly functional devices that become terrible sources of pollution when junked*.
Your donation allows us to inform everybody about how they can help stave off these environmental disasters.
* Case in point: Microsoft stopped free unconditional support for Windows 10 on hundreds of millions of computers in October. Many of these older, yet perfectly usable devices will not be able to upgrade because of spurious hardware requirements. Microsoft’s solution? “Throw away your computer and pollute the planet because we want to make even more money.”
Reach people the tech industry left behind
Many aren’t in a position to replace their devices every few years, or download hundreds of gigabytes of data from an always-on internet connection. KDE produces software that doesn’t need the latest hardware or an always-on internet connection, allowing everybody find their space in the digitized world.
Your donation helps KDE serve those who are ignored by the industry, and bring marginalized users into the community so they can help the project grow for everyone.
Help public institutions adopt free software
The governments of the world are starting to realize that using public funds to lock themselves into proprietary closed-source software has been a strategic geopolitical mistake.
Free software is publicly owned, representing the safest option for governments that want full control over their machines and safety for their citizens’ data. But often the standards required for software approval by public institutions is very high, and their needs very specific.
Your donation helps KDE adapt our software to what public institutions require, clearing the way for your tax dollars to fund KDE, not some big foreign companies.
