Bonus: Django itself

Okay, there’s no discount here, but there is a good deal! You can fund the framework that you love to ensure it continues to grow.

If you can spend some money on Django-related products this Black Friday, please consider sponsoring Django itself. You can support it by donating to the charity that runs the framework, the Django Software Foundation.

Your money will go towards:

• Paying the Django Fellows, Mariusz and Natalia, who merge respond to tickets, merge code, and make releases.
• Helping organize DjangoCons in Africa, America, and Europe, and other events.
• Hosting costs of the documentation, source code, ticketing system, and CI system.
• A long tail of activities for keeping the framework alive and thriving.

You can sponsor Django on:

• GitHub Sponsors - adds to your GitHub bill.
• Threadless - grab some custom-printed merchandise.
• The Fundraising Page - bills from a credit card with Stripe. This page also links to other schemes: Amazon Smile and Benevity Workplace Giving.

If you’re working with Django professionally, please consider sponsoring a few dollars a month. But better yet, get your organization to sponsor to pay back for all the advantages that Django offers you.

At the time of writing, Django is 59% towards its annual funding goal:

Let’s fill up that heart!

Fin

Let’s support Django creators, and Django itself!
