Fedora is funded entirely through the contributions of DuraSpace members that allocate their annual funding to Fedora. We began our annual membership campaign with a goal of raising $570,000, and so far we have raised $482$503,167 which is over 84% 88% of our goal! This funding pays for staff to work on the project and provide technical leadership, direct strategic planning, organize community outreach, and coordinate timely software releases. Membership also provides opportunities to participate in project governance and influence the direction of the software. If your institution is not yet a member of DuraSpace in support of Fedora, please join us today!

We would like to thank the National Library of Medicine for upgrading their membership from Gold to Platinum this year! NLM is a longstanding member of the Fedora community and we are thrilled that they were able to increase their contribution level.
