* Recognizes individuals who have contributed to the OpenVZ with [[Contributors|Community Awards]]
=== Goal ===
The OpenVZ project needs your help to achieve our fundraising goal of $100,000 for 2015.
Reaching this goal will ensure the continued health of the projects we support, will enable us to help them do more, and will avoid the distraction of financial emergencies that could spell the end of the projects.
[[Donations#2014|2014]] was a bad year for the foundation financially, we hope to fix current situation in 2015.
Our goal for [[Donations#2015|2015]] is to increase the amount of support we offer for development, without compromising our regular support for the projects. We would like to:
* Plan and support more community events.
* Continue to improve the project infrastructure.
To achieve our goal we need both Individual and Corporate sponsorship of the foundation. To put our goal in context:
* If $2 were given for [http://stats.openvz.org/ every installation of OpenVZ with running containers] we would be at our goal.
* If $0.14 were given for [http://stats.openvz.org/ every running OpenVZ container] we would be at our goal.
* If $400 were given by every [[Hosting_providers|hosting provider]] uses OpenVZ we would be at our goal.
As an individual or corporation, the best kind of donation we can receive is a recurring donation. This allows longer term planning on our part, instead of hoping for one time cash infusions. The easiest way for an individual to support us in this way is a recurring Paypal donation, which is our preference.
