The Apache Software Foundation provides the infrastructure for the many
Apache projects - the mailing lists, code repositories, bug tracking
systems and other services that are so valuable for code development. All
of this requires a financial assistance to maintain a paid staff to handle
essential administration, to purchase bandwidth and to keep our servers
running.

All financial assistance to Apache is contributed by its user community, be
they individuals or corporate entities. If you would like to contribute,
the following pages explain more:

-  [Sponsoring Apache](sponsorship.html) - the direct approach, you or your
company could become one of our [named sponsors](thanks.html).

-  [Donating to Apache](contributing.html) - for smaller donations, you can
donate via Paypal, Check, or even your car.

-  [Buy Apache Merchandise](buy_stuff.html) - get cool Apache merchandised
swag, portions of the income are sent to Apache
