Why support YunoHost in 2026?

Phase 1. Preserving the basics

This budget will fund code and infrastructure maintenance, as well as time spent doing support or reviewing and integrating contributions from new volunteers.

النفقات

Our expected budget for 2026-2027 reaches 100 000 € and breaks down in 5 categories.

Project expenditure breaks down into the following categories:

• Development: one-off funding awarded to some of the most work-intensive features of the roadmap which require to ensure dedication over the long-term of experienced contributors. It should be noted, however, that this amount is negligible in relation to the voluntary work carried out by the contributors overall - YunoHost remains primarily a volunteer-based project.
• Infrastructure: corresponds to the hosting of the tools used by the project, such as the website, documentation, forum, technical tools, etc. The amount of this expenditure should reduce in 2025 following a migration to a dedicated server from a friendly host provider.
• Events: expenses to enable the team to attend public events (e.g. JdLL) and to meet in the same place at least twice a year to work together on feature design and development strategy.
• Facilitation: financial compensation allocated to administrative tasks, animation and coordination of the collective. This is a new type of expense introduced in 2025, decided by the collective given the need to have a person dedicated to these aspects (a.k.a “stirrer”).
• Fees and other expenses: bank charges or donations made to other collectives that support the project in kind.

المداخيل

YunoHost has been always able to rely on donations to fund its activity, together with occasional grants. Given the increased funding needs for this new season, the team has been looking for ways to lower the financial burden on the community by:

• Applying for grants (with some success this year),
• Trying to partner with civil society organizations through a dedicated project (with a lot of sweat but no financial success for now).
• Starting to develop a professional activity which aims at allowing some core contributors of the project's team to spend more time on the project (some of it being paid by customers).

Here are our expected source of revenues:

• Recurring donations: 2,500 €/month
• One-time donations: ~72,000 € (~6,000 €/month) (grants included: ~42,000 € (3,500 €/month))
  • NLNet through NGI0 (OIDC, Packaging v3): ~34,500 €
  • Code Lutin through Copie Publique (half of users self-registration): 5,000 €
  • Civil Society (in progress) : (~2,500 €)
  • Yunohost.pro (in progress): ~ 500 €

Total budget in 2026: ~100,000 € (~8,500 €/month)

To this budget must also be added the also donations in-kind, in particular donations in the form of servers or bandwidth from other non-profit organizations (Globenet, Gitoyen and tetaneutral) as well as independent web companies (Octopuce).
