If you have benefited from the open-source projects I maintain or contribute to, such as PHPMailer, or if I’ve helped you out though Stack Overflow or Experts Exchange, sponsorship is a very nice way to say “thank you”.
If you’d like to support me on an ongoing basis, please sponsor me via GitHub or Patreon.
If your company uses PHPMailer, consider investing in PHPMailer for enterprise with Tidelift. It’s a great way to ensure that the software you rely on remains up to date and available.
A new addition in 2023 – thanks.dev provides a really nice way to sponsor open source in a much more general way. It’s not as selective as options like GitHub sponsors or Patreon, and has a lower barrier to entry compared to Tidelift. It’s really easy to sponsor those packages that you use and depend on, but don’t think about.
