Sponsoring / support contracts
Keep Pygfx going
Maintaining and growing wgpu and Pygfx costs time and dedication. We rely on sponsors to maintain (and grow) the project further. If you represent a company / group that relies on Pygfx or wgpu-pu, please consider a sponsorship to help move Pygfx further, and get the support that you need.
As a sponsor you don't pay for using Pygfx, you pay for its continued growth. And by contributing together, Pygfx stays independent, in the spirit of Open Source collaboration.
How funds are used
The received funds are dedicated for the progress of PyGfx and lower-level libraries (wgpu-py, rendercanvas, and pylinalg). So it includes the work on Pygfx itself, keeping wgpu-py up-to-date with the development of WebGPU, and improving and maintaining core dependencies like rendercanvas. Funds are primarily used for developer time. Surplus funds are used as a buffer (to create some runway), onboarding additional developers, and maybe organize an event.

- Ongoing development of the project.
