Fuel the Work That Keeps Us Moving
Every guide, example, and event we provide is powered by community support. Your donation helps us maintain infrastructure, expand free Training Sessions, keep Events inclusive, and sustain resources like the Community Forum, Slack Community, Discord Community, and Facebook Group. Together, these spaces form an ecosystem where practitioners can ask, learn, and contribute without barriers.
Donations are not just financial; they are a statement of shared values. By giving, you affirm the importance of open knowledge, reproducible examples in the GitHub Repo, and trusted guidance around Web Security Trends and Cybersecurity Resources. Your contribution turns ideas into durable resources, available to anyone who needs them.
Where Your Contribution Goes
- Infrastructure: Hosting servers, Slack/Discord integrations, and the Forum archive.
- Education: Funding free Training Sessions, conference recordings on the Conference Schedule, and curated resources in the repo.
- Events: Supporting global Events and local Meetups with inclusive access and professional facilitation.
- Security: Maintaining up-to-date references on Web Security Trends and practical Cybersecurity Resources.
- Community growth: Helping moderators guide conversations in Slack, Discord, and Facebook.
One-Time vs Ongoing Support
Some choose to give once, others prefer ongoing monthly support. Either way, you make a tangible difference. Ongoing contributions allow us to plan bigger initiatives: year-round Events, published guides, and investments in security resources. One-time donations help cover immediate needs—server renewals, accessibility audits, or funding a particular Local Meetup.
Why Donate?
The value of free resources is exponential. A Slack answer may solve one person’s problem, but when documented in the Forum and reproduced in the Repo, it helps thousands. Your donation ensures that cycle continues. It sustains moderators, pays for recordings on the Conference Schedule, and expands free Training Sessions so more learners can benefit.
Donations also enable us to invest in resilience. By funding the team that curates Web Security Trends and Cybersecurity Resources, you help us respond quickly to new risks. This keeps the guidance in Slack, Discord, and LinkedIn (LinkedIn Updates) accurate and timely.
Other Ways to Contribute
Financial donations are vital, but not the only option. You can also:
- Write or translate summaries in the Forum.
- Contribute code or fixes in the GitHub Repo.
- Moderate a thread in Slack, Discord, or the Facebook Group.
- Organize a Local Meetup and share photos in the group.
- Help promote Events and sessions on Conference Schedule by sharing them through Twitter or LinkedIn.
These efforts are powerful multipliers. A few hours of moderation or documentation can benefit thousands who arrive later searching for answers.
From Donation to Impact
When you donate, you’re not funding a faceless organization—you’re investing in a living ecosystem of people helping people. That $20 might fund a recording on the Conference Schedule, pay for closed captions in a Training Session, or cover venue costs for a Local Meetup. A larger donation might underwrite infrastructure that supports the Slack Community, Discord Community, and Facebook Group for the year.
The return on that investment is enormous. It means someone halfway around the world can join an event, learn from the repo, and apply security guidance from our resources—all without cost. Your donation ensures that the next learner, builder, or teacher has what they need to contribute. Together, we turn generosity into growth.
