Open Source is all about contributions. Countless numbers of developers are all giving of their time and talents to code, document, test, design, and deliver software so that the end user may benefit from it. The Open Source Lab is here to contribute resources to the community, allowing developers to focus on what they do best rather than having to spend time worrying about system resources and hosting.

The non-profit Open Source Lab is able to provide its services to the global open source community thanks to the generous support of its industry partners and individual donors. The OSL Alliance coporate sponsorship program enables commercial vendors to financially support the expansion of computing infrastructure, hosting services, technical support, and software development that the OSL provides. The Friends of the OSL program is designed to show our appreciation of smaller donations from individuals or small businesses.

Our financial contributions are handled by the Oregon State University Foundation. Use the form at the side of this page to begin the donation process. You will be taken to the OSU Foundation's secure website to complete the online donation. You can also phone a contribution to the OSU Foundation at (800) 354-7281 and specify that your gift is for the Open Source Lab in Information Services. To speak with someone at the OSL about how your contributions are used, please call (541) 737-9900 or email donations@osuosl.org
