PayPal Donations
PayPal Recurring Donation
A regular monthly donation is the best way to help OpenStreetMap.
Click on one of the following links to start making regular donations via PayPal:
You can become a member by paying £15 per year, which enables you to influence the direction of OpenStreetMap by being able to vote in elections for officers of the foundation (conditions apply). Members may also get discounts on some OSMF organised events (such as the State of the Map international conference). Join.
without payment, via the active contributor program
If you are an active contributor with at least 42 mapping days in the last 365 days, or if you are equally active in OpenStreetMap with non-mapping activities, we would like you to become a member of the OSMF regardless of if and how you could pay the membership fee. You can apply for an active contributor membership and become an associate member, and help decide on the direction and future of the OSMF. To find out how many mapping days you have, you can use the How did you contribute tool for an estimate. Note: you will have to reapply under the active contributor program each year. Join and FAQ.
You do not have to be a member of the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) in order use or contribute to OpenStreetMap.
You're also donating a percentage to the foundation when you buy some OpenStreetMap Merchandise and when you attend the international State Of The Map conference.
Use of funds
The Foundation currently has a mandate from its members to use funds for the following purposes:
Hardware 60%
Promotion 20%
Legal 20%
The small print
All donations via donate.openstreetmap.org are processed securely via PayPal.
You don't need to be subscribed to PayPal to make a one-off donation and you can pay with a credit card or debit card if you wish. You will need to have, or create, an account with PayPal to setup a recurring donation.
We respect your personal privacy. Your identity will not be disclosed publicly without your consent. However, if you become a member of the foundation the membership list may be disclosed publicly.
