+## Support Core Team Developers Directly
+
+While we don't raise funds to sponsor development of GIMP as an organization at this time, we encourage our
contributors to run personal fundraisers. Currently there are two such projects.
+
+Øyvind Kolås uses Patreon to [raise funds](https://www.patreon.com/pippin) for his work on
[GEGL](http://gegl.org/), GIMP's new sophisticated image processing core. This work is crucial to implement
features such as non-destructive editing in GIMP, including features known as adjustment layers and layer
effects in similar software. Øyvind is the primary developer of GEGL who has been working on it since
mid-2000s.
+
+Jehan Pagès runs another [Patreon-hosted campaign](https://www.patreon.com/zemarmot) to raise funds for a
GIMP-powered animated movie. Part of the funds is spent on development of [advanced animation features in
GIMP](https://girinstud.io/news/2016/12/zemarmot-end-of-year-report/). Jehan is one of the most active
contributors to GIMP in recent years who fixed countless bugs.

+## Donate to The Project
Donating money to the GIMP project is easy! The [GNOME Foundation](http://www.gnome.org/) has graciously
agreed to act as fiscal agents for us. Contributions to the GIMP project can be made by donating to the GNOME
Foundation and specifying the GIMP project as the recipient. The GNOME Foundation is a tax-exempt, non-profit
501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax-deductible in the USA.
