YunoHost existís dempuèi 2012 e es desvolopat essencialament de faiçon benevòla e en defòra del sector comercial.
YunoHost es un projècte modèst al respècte de las ressorsas que mobiliza - mas ambiciós, tant per son activisme coma per sa concepcion tecnica e d'interfàcia, e tanben per la perseverança necessària per empaquetar e manténer las centenas d'aplicacions de nòstre catalòg.
Se, coma nosautres, desiratz que lo projècte contunhe de foncionar, qu'evolucione per téner sas promessas e que nos permeta de prendre suènh de la comunautat, es aicí que podètz far un don !
Why support YunoHost in 2026?
YunoHost is a non-profit project that advocates a decentralized Internet, with open, interoperable and sober technologies that respect privacy and (re-)empower the greatest number of people and collectives.
Phase 1. Preserving the basics

Since 2024, a facilitator (known as “stirring officer”) is in charge to take care of the collective both humanly and administratively, as well as in its external relations.

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

Despensas
Our expected budget for 2026-2027 reaches 100 000 € and breaks down in 5 categories.
Las despensas del projècte se repartisson segon las categorias seguentas :
- 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.
- Infrastructura : correspond a l'albergament dels espleches emplegats pel projècte coma lo site web, la documentacion, lo fòrum, los espleches tecnics, etc. La soma d'aquestas despensas deuriá demesir en 2025 seguida a una migracion sus un servidor dedicat en çò d'un albergador amic.
- 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”).
- Fraisses e autras despensas : fraisses bancaris o dons efectuats a d'autres collectius que sostenon lo projècte en natura.
Revengut
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).
