# Donate

PayPal donations are split among the developers. We use those mostly for books and music.

If you think that sending money doesn't have the personal touch or if you want to reward someone special, please check the developers wishlists that are linked from here.

### One-time donation

When you click the PayPal icon, you will be taken to the PayPal website where you will be able to donate any amount up to ten thousand US dollars (or the equivalent in another currency) to the TortoiseSVN project. Note that you do not have to create a PayPal account in order to donate money to the TortoiseSVN project. Please make sure you have read the legal notice at the bottom of this page.

You can also make a personal donation directly to an individual developer. We have set up wish lists on Amazon with lots of CD/DVD/books we like:

The TortoiseSVN team: | Stefan (lead developer)
Lübbe (docs & translations)
Simon (docs)

In case you don't know which one of us you want to donate, you can look at some statistics of the TortoiseSVN project to get an idea how much work each of us does.

### Regular contribution each month

If you would like to donate money to the TortoiseSVN project each month with your PayPal subscription, please select a currency and amount and then click the PayPal icon. You will be taken to the PayPal website where you will be able to initiate the monthly donation. Your credit card will be automatically charged each month via PayPal until you cancel this monthly donation. If you do not have a PayPal account, you will need to create one on the PayPal website. Please make sure you have read the legal notice at the bottom of this page.
