+Let's join forces
+=================
+
+Developing open-source software is a community effort. Solid funding
+enables us to quickly implement features and integrate with services
+you care about.
+
+Grants and donations will be used for organizing meetups, visiting
+conferences, buying test devices, offering perks for contributions,
+and covering our cost of living.
+
+We've built similar apps more than once and every single time the
+constraints of working in a profit-oriented corporate environment were
+an impediment. We are sure we can do better with only a fraction of the
+budget. However, we can't cover all expenses from our personal savings.
+
+Your support is highly appreciated and will have significant impact on
+our work.
+
+Please visit our new [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/photoprism)
+page or [reach out](mailto:hello@photoprism.org) to us if you work for
+an organization that would like to sponsor our project.
