Support the deposit service#
As a non-profit digital commons infrastructure recognized by UNESCO, Software Heritage ensures the long-term preservation and universal access of software source code, essential for research reproducibility, innovation, and future scholarship.
Support of Software Heritage by organisations is vital in building a mutualized infrastructure in service of the society. We are very grateful to all our supporting organisations worldwide.
We are actively seeking contributions from institutions, foundations, corporations, and individuals that wish to substantially support our mission. Software Heritage will officially acknowledge your donation, by various means, according to your sponsorship level.
How to support#
The Deposit Interest Group (DIG) brings together stakeholders that are interested in using, supporting and expanding the Software Heritage infrastructure as the archive of choice to deposit open-source software artifacts that they produce or use, with appropriate metadata.
The Deposit Interest Group invites you to join the effort through a dedicated program and receive acknowledgement in a dedicated page.
