# Support the Zulip project
|
|
|
|
{!supporting-zulip-motivation.md!}
|
|
|
|
The Zulip community (which includes you!) is a huge part of what makes Zulip
|
|
successful. If you appreciate Zulip, there are many different ways you can
|
|
support the project. Some of these will only take a few minutes of your
|
|
time, but still make a big difference.
|
|
|
|
* [Support Zulip financially](#support-zulip-financially): Sponsoring Zulip
|
|
helps fund free [Zulip Cloud Standard](https://zulip.com/plans/) hosting for
|
|
hundreds of open source projects, research communities, and other worthy
|
|
organizations.
|
|
|
|
* [Help others find Zulip](#help-others-find-zulip): As a business that's
|
|
[growing sustainably](https://zulip.com/values/) without venture capital
|
|
funding, Zulip cannot afford splashy ad campaigns to compete with giant
|
|
corporations like Salesforce (Slack) and Microsoft (Teams). Zulip depends
|
|
on users and other members of the community to spread the word about the
|
|
difference that using Zulip's organized team chat has made for you or your
|
|
organization.
|
|
|
|
* [Help improve Zulip](#help-improve-zulip): Zulip is developed by a [vibrant
|
|
open-source community](https://zulip.com/team/), and there are many ways to
|
|
contribute even without writing a single line of code.
|
|
|
|
