Donation is a great way to increase the development pace and support core team members. Funds will be spent on:

• Extra Yii time for core developers
• Servers and infrastructure
• Development tools
• Design
• Marketing
• Long-term support for Yii 1.1 and 2.0

Currently these donation services are available:

• Open Collective
• Github Sponsors
• Boosty (for Russian users)

Boosty was added recently for Russian users to be able to contribute as well.

Yii is also part of the Tidelift Subscription. You can read more about how they pay maintainers on their support page: How we pay lifters.

• Our stance on the war operation and update on development

Thanks for your help!
