GitHub Sponsors is out of beta for sponsored organizations

GitHub Sponsors, initially launched in beta for organization accounts to receive funding, is now available in 32 regions, aiming to support open-source projects by allowing organizations to receive financial backing. This initiative, which incurs no payment processing fees, ensures that 100% of donations go directly to the sponsored projects, thereby benefiting developers and maintainers who advance technology through open source. Over 500 organizations participated in the beta, and with positive feedback, GitHub Sponsors seeks to expand its reach further. The platform has already facilitated significant contributions to projects like Homebrew and ESLint, enhancing their capabilities and reducing fundraising efforts. Organizations can join by setting up a corporate bank account or using a fiscal host such as Open Collective, NumFOCUS, or the Software Freedom Conservancy. GitHub commits to developing more tools to simplify and enhance funding processes for open-source projects.
