How do I fund a project?

Question

I'm just trying to find out how to fund a Drupal project.

I found https://www.drupalfund.us/, but it seems it is not really working because there are no active projects, or maybe I'm missing something.

At this moment, how could I fund a Drupal project?

Answer 1

What you're asking for is not an obvious task to get completed.

The most recent, fairly successful, funding campaign that I'm aware of is for upgrading the Rules module to D8, via #d8rules. For some pointers about it, start from the community promotion ad (disclosure: I posted it) which looks like so:

Depending on what the subject of your project is, maybe your project also fits the criteria for starting a similar ad ... free of charge (just a relevant image and URL will get you going)!

Answer 2

If your project uses company's X API or library, you can try approaching company X about funding your project. As it would be beneficial for them if people don't have to invent the wheel in order to use their service.
