-## Donations
+## Funding
+
+While CIDER is free software and will always be, the project would benefit immensely from some funding.
+Raising a monthly budget of a couple of thousand dollars would make it possible to pay people to work on
+certain complex features, fund other development related stuff (e.g. hardware, conference trips) and so on.
+Raising a monthly budget of over $5000 would open the possibility of someone working full-time on the project
+which would speed up the work on the project significantly.
+
+We welcome both individual and corporate sponsors! We also offer a wide array of funding channels to account
+for your preferences (although currently Open Collective is our preferred funding platform).
+
+If you're working in a company that's making significant use of CIDER we'd appreciate it if you suggest to your company
+to become a CIDER sponsor.
