Dear $ALL

X2Go could desperately need your help once more - our funding, especially for events, is running critically low - and tomorrow (September 21st, 2025), all one-time donations made via betterplace.org to our project(s) will be matched by 100%, until the platform-wide matching budget of 100 000 EUR is used up.

(Recurring donations, donations via external donation forms, partner platforms, and fundraising campaigns are excluded.)

Donations of up to and including 50 EUR will be matched 100%. For donations over 50 Euro, a fixed amount of 50 EUR will be added.

To donate directly towards X2Go's event budget, kindly follow this link: <https://www.betterplace.org/en/projects/131360?wirwunder=235>

To donate towards X2Go's infrastructure budget, X2Go in general, or X2Go's umbrella organization, orca e.V., please visit the X2Go Wiki start page and follow the donation links there: <https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php>

It would be really cool if you could send some $$$/€€€/£££/¥¥¥ our way, so we can keep advocating for X2Go and free remote desktop/remote application projects in general. We can accept donations via PayPal, Google Pay, Credit Card, Direct Debit, and wire transfer. Best of all, donations towards X2Go (and orca e.V., our umbrella org) are usually tax deductible for German tax subjects.

If times are rough for you and you can't afford to donate, don't feel bad! You can also help us by forwarding this announcement to whomever you seem fit - e.g. your local Linux user group, your social media followers, etc.
