Support Compass

Compass is and will always remain free, ad-free, and community-owned.
Your contribution directly helps cover hosting, development, and community growth — ensuring Compass thrives as a gift for everyone.

Ways to Contribute Financially

• Patreon – one-time or ongoing monthly support
• PayPal – one-time or flexible contributions
• GitHub Sponsors – increased transparency, but requires a GitHub account

Why Donate?

• Keep Compass sustainable – cover server and infrastructure costs
• Protect independence – ensure we never need ads, subscriptions, or data sales
• Empower contributors – support ongoing development, moderation, and outreach

Non-Financial Contributions

Donations aren’t the only way to help. You can also:

• Improve code or documentation
• Suggest features and test new builds
• Spread the word to thoughtful communities
• Help with design, moderation, or translations

Every small action adds up to something bigger.

Thank you for being part of this mission.
Together, we’re building a platform for meaningful human connection — one that will never be captured by profit or advertising.
