# Sponsoring the MariaDB Project

Sponsorships are crucial for ongoing and future development of the MariaDB project! There are a number of easy ways you for you to help the project:

* Fund the development of a specific feature. You can find a list of suggested features to sponsor [here](/docs/server/reference/product-development/server-development/mariadb-server-roadmap.md#plans) or in [JIRA](/docs/server/reference/product-development/server-development/tools/jira.md). Feel free to sign in and add more projects to either place!
* Contribute with [developer](/docs/general-resources/community/contributing-participating/contributing-code.md) time. If your organization has talented developers familiar with MariaDB or MySQL codebase they can become part of the MariaDB team and contribute to the development of the MariaDB project.
* Hire a developer that you dedicate to work on the MariaDB project.
* A pure [donation](https://mariadb.org/donate/) with no strings attached
