GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hi there! I'm a maintainer who doesn't work on open source software in their full time job. Does that sound like you or most of your development team? Then you'll understand why I set up GitHub Sponsors for the projects I maintain.
In my spare time, the time not spent working at a full-time job, I maintain a few projects.
Select2

250k unique users visited the Select2.org website last month
2.5k visitors download Select2 every day
25.6k stars and 6.4k forks on GitHub
1.2 billion hits every month on jsDelivr and far more on CDNjs

Select2 is a jQuery based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results.
Django REST framework

20.3k stars and 5.4k forks on GitHub
Used by 200k downstream repositories

Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.
Jinja2

7.5k stars and 1.3k forks on GitHub
Used by 500k+ downstream repositories

Jinja is a modern and designer-friendly templating language for Python, modeled after Django’s templates. It is fast, widely used and secure with the optional sandboxed template execution environment:

Maintaining a single project can become a full time job, especially when it's a popular project. But as a maintainer of 3 different popular projects I have to balance my effort across all of them.
The rewards for sponsorship tiers go towards Select2, since that is the project I own and independently maintain. I can provide paid support towards the other projects I maintain as well, but any sponsorship opportunities are independent of them.
