Decade of Code: Annual Fundraiser!
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Processing Foundation Fellowship Program! Over the past decade, the Processing Foundation Fellowship Program has run an annual program that supports artists, designers, activists, educators, engineers, researchers, coders, and collectives who are passionate about making a positive impact through open-source software and technology for the arts. Fellows receive a $10,000 stipend, one-on-one mentorship, fellow cohort gatherings, and public-facing opportunities to showcase their work. They also gain access to the Processing Foundation’s network to collaborate and share for their fellowship.
As we celebrate this decade of code, we’re thrilled to invite you to join our annual fundraiser. Your financial support is vital in continuing our mission of promoting software learning within the arts and artistic learning within technology-related fields.
Here’s how your contribution makes a difference:
- Software development: Your donations directly fund the development of new features, better contributor support, improved documentation, and more.
- Community support: Your donations help us offer resources and opportunities for artists and technologists to collaborate, learn, and create.
- Education: Your donations help us support and expand our existing educational initiatives and partnerships with learning institutions.
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Your donations help us continue to focus on making technology accessible and equitable, celebrating all voices in the fields of art and code.
