# Donations

As free and open-source technology, Vector is built from scratch and relies on contributors from around the world, both in terms of code contributions as well as financial donations. Grants and donations are one way to support developers, the growth of the Vector ecosystem, and general education and awareness on the human right to privacy. More information on donations shared at a future date.
