Give Back to Blender
Help funding Blender in 2026
If Blender helped you with your projects this year, we're asking you to help us back.
For the past year, you've had access to professional 3D software, completely free. No subscriptions, no licenses, no limits. Blender has been there for your projects, your learning, your art, your business.
Today, we're asking for $5.
That's it. If every active Blender user contributed $5 this month, Blender Foundation would meet its entire yearly funding goal for 2026.
Facebook has been building tools that help artists turn their Blender creations into engaging AR experiences in Spark AR.
To support these artists and the countless other animators, researchers, engineers, designers and content creators who depend on open source tools, Facebook wishes to contribute to the development of Blender. Which is why we’re proud to announce that Facebook will join the Blender Foundation’s Development Fund as a Corporate Patron as of Q4, 2020.
We at Blender see this as another important signal of the industry’s willingness to migrate to open source, and contribute to open source’s continual improvement.
Ton Roosendaal,
Chairman Blender Foundation
What is the Blender Development Fund?
The Blender Development Fund accepts donations to support activities to provide free and open accessible services for all Blender contributors – including professionals and corporations – on the blender.org websites. Support activities include bug fixing, code reviews, technical documentation and onboarding.
The fund will also provide grants and subsidies to developers on generic and widely agreed development projects.
