   Stay tuned We’ll be launching our end-of-year fundraiser within a couple of days, and we hope you enjoy what we have prepared to share with you if you’ve already donated and you’re a member, you can still take part by sharing our posts on social media and with your regional and project-based...

   Please join us in sending a HUGE thank you to glyph, amethyst, Yhg1s, petrillic, and offby1, the individuals behind the community-run matching campaign. You have the PSF’s deep gratitude for enabling, catalyzing, and most impressively, inspiring the #Python community to come together ’ ’ ’

   Our community really showed up, and a handful of you went even further , spontaneously organizing a matching campaign The campaign added fuel to the energized moment and set a tangible goal so that others could be a part of it. Over just a few days, they were able to raise the full matched amount,...

   Here we are again: stunned, floored, full of hope, because of you-each of you wonderful humans in the #Python community. Since we shared the news about our withdrawal from the NSF grant opportunity two weeks ago, we have received over 160,000 in donations across nearly 2000 donors, which includes...

   Thanks to The New Stack for a great article on our decision regarding the NSF funding and the amazing community support in response. >Yet rejecting the grant created a surge in news coverage, thousands of upvotes on social media and an upswell of donations.

   The November edition of the PSF Board Office Hour is about to begin ’ï 2 PM UTC. Join us to share how we can help your community, express your perspectives, and provide feedback for the PSF #pythonhttps: pyfound.blogspot.com 2025 10 a-new-psf-board-another-year-of-psf.html

   Read the full post to see how the PSF is tackling these challenges and how you can help power the future of Python. Many of you have donated in the past week- so we are looking for you to help us with reach. Please share this story, boost our upcoming fundraiser posts, and most importantly, tell...

   Even still, we’re raising the flag early: the PSF has only 6 months of runway and needs your support to sustain essential #Python & #PyPI infrastructure, #PyConUS, and, hopefully, to reopen our Grants Program.

   When we shared last week that we withdrew from a U.S. government grant due to conflicts with our mission, the community showed incredible support. 1400 donors and 270 new members raised 135K in solidarity- thank you We've also had 3 new companies apply for sponsorship

   In short: our costs have gone up, our assets and revenue have gone down, and demand for the PSF’s work continues to grow. Meanwhile, Python usage is surging (which is great ), but corporate investment in the language and community hasn’t kept pace.

   Over the past year , we’ve shared updates on things like the Grants Program pause, PyCon US financial transparency, our NSF grant withdrawal, and the Open Infrastructure is Not Free statement. This new post pulls those threads together into one clear overview.

   As the PSF heads into our end-of-year fundraiser this month, we want to connect the dots and share a full picture of our current financial outlook: what’s happening, why, and how you can help sustain the future of Python and the PSF. https: pyfound.blogspot.com 2025 10 connecting-the-dots.html

   Finally, we want to share that everyone at the PSF is full of hope, courage, and strength- because of each and every one of you in the #Python community. We’ve continued to hear from you across a multitude of platforms with messages of support and encouragement- each of which we truly treasure

   We are counting all of these donations and new members as the prequel to our end-of-year fundraiser Stay tuned for more information on the fundraiser- and if you’ve already donated, you can still support us through the end of 2025 by sharing your #Python stories and boosting our posts

   If you’re interested in donating or becoming a member and would like to double your contribution, make sure you jump on the matching campaign generously organized by Glyph and others. It ends tomorrow (Nov 4th), so don’t wait https: mastodon.social glyph 115459561050304121

   Now for some ✠fun✠updates Since we posted last Monday about our withdrawal from the NSF grant opportunity, we have received 134K in donations across 1700 donors, which includes 270 new Supporting Members

   Thanks to our partners Arm, GitHub, and AWS, the PSF migrated #Python’s infrastructure to Arm-based systems; achieving zero downtime, lower costs, and a greener footprint.
