Add Funding Links to Your 'package.json'

Learn how to enhance your open-source project by adding funding links to your ‘package.json’. This guide highlights the importance of supporting maintainers and explores various ways contributors can provide financial assistance, including platforms like GitHub Sponsors and Open Collective. By making your funding information visible, you can encourage users to support your project directly.

We’ll walk you through the process of implementing the funding field in your ‘package.json’, ensuring that your project is equipped to receive contributions. Whether it’s a simple donation link or a Patreon page, letting the community know you’re seeking support can make a difference. With just a few adjustments, you might find that your project receives the backing it deserves!

Display Your Sponsors in Your GitHub READMEs

Showcasing your sponsors in GitHub READMEs is a great way to acknowledge their support and attract potential sponsors. An easy way to do this is by using SponsorKit, developed by Anthony Fu. SponsorKit generates sponsor images compatible with GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective, Patreon, and Afdian. By following a few steps, you can create and display these sponsor images in your project’s README file. You’ll need a GitHub account, at least one sponsor, and a personal access token. A template repository is available to simplify the setup process.
