(stuff between [] = links. This is still a draft)

The Krita community would like to thank you for your support! You can fund Krita's development in several ways:
- Support general development by donating to the Krita Foundation
- Support general development by buying Krita products
- Receive personalized, commercial support and feature development through KO GmbH

General development
---------

To better support Krita's development, Krita's community created the Krita Foundation in 2012. The Krita Foundation is an independent non-profit, public organization with the following goals:
- To develop free graphics software, especially Krita
- To provide services for users and developers of Krita
- To provide artists and studios with everything they need to create digital art.

Donations to the Krita Foundation will be used in the following order of priority:
1. Fund development of Krita (priority): The Foundation will sponsor a developer to work full-time on Krita for a specific period of time, for tasks including bug-fixing, adding new features and improving support on platforms other than Linux. Please find such past initiatives [here]. (oh hey, we need a page with all past sponsored development. It just needs to be made once and updated occasionally, it will serve every time there's a donation drive). On some occasions, it will also sponsor work on related initiatives such as training DVDs. Please note: Although donators can suggest features, the exact tasks are determined by the development team, as features can take up to months to implement. If you wish to see a specific feature implemented, consider commercial support (below).
2. Hardware: The Krita Foundation may sometimes use funds to provide some developers with needed hardware such as Wacom tablets. This is only done if they need to work on coding for that hardware.
3. Fund travel to events such as the Libre Graphics Meeting and Development sprints: Krita will usually try to get funding for these from other sources first, like the event planners themselves.

Current sponsored development: Dmitry Kazakov, for 1000 euros a month, for (what exactly? It doesn't have to be a comprehensive list, just stand-out features)

(hmm, does all that seem too long? Oh and, about the "page with all past sponsored development": I propose it to be a 2 part wiki page, the first part with a brief summary, then second with a more detailed breakdown:)

Krita will from time to time sponsor a developer to work full-time on Krita for a specific period of time, for tasks including bug-fixing, adding new features and improving support on platforms other than Linux. Such initiatives help vastly speed up the development of Krita, bringing new and more stable features to the users. To see how you can support such initiatives, please see [here] (< support Krita page).

Please note that although donators can suggest features, the exact tasks are determined by the development team, as features can take up to months to implement.
