Donations are split between the Tauri project ($6,000/year via GitHub Sponsors), the Svelte project ($3,000/year via OpenCollective), and the broader dependency tree ($1,600/year via Thanks.dev). The post also critiques current sponsorship tooling — GitHub Sponsors is described as nearly unusable for bulk sponsorship, and Thanks.dev lacks transparency and recognition features. The author calls for a better platform that helps companies identify dependencies, allocate budgets, and gain meaningful recognition for their contributions, arguing that clearer ROI and easier tooling are essential to scaling corporate participation in open source sustainability. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
