“I Sustain C3S” is the name of our program that allows you to support us with continuous funds. The minimum monthly contribution is 5 Euros. Donors can present their support to the world via a web banner. Visit the Sustain Page now.
ONE-OFF
Use Paypal, Bitcoin, Liberapay or a normal bank transfer and donate an amount of your choice. If you’d like to make a donation and receive a donation receipt, a donation to the OpenMusicContest.org e.V. (OMC) is exactly the right alternative. The OMC is one of the origins of the C3S and continues to support the C3S as a central project.
Why does the C3S need donations?
Initial funding came from the crowdfunding in 2014, the state of North Rhine Westphalia, and through the cooperative shares of the members. These funds were dedicated to start working on software infrastructure and cover long-term investments. The cooperative shares can only be invested in lasting values, as they can be reclaimed by the members when they leave the cooperative. They are not suitable to cover running costs. C3S is therefore dependent on further funding to keep the office and buerocratic necessities running. More information about the financial structure of C3S can be found here.
