The NixOS infrastructure, development and events are funded by its users and sponsors.

Maintaining our build farm and binary cache is very expensive. We depend on your support to ensure the continuous operation and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure. Please consider donating a small amount every month to contribute to sustainable funding. Donations are handled by a nonprofit organization, the NixOS Foundation.
