I really appreciate Audacity and I would like to donate some money, but I can’t figure out how to do it!

We no longer accept direct donations, but donations may still be made via FossHub on the Download page: [Audacity download latest version](https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html)  
Donations to Fosshub benefit all of the excellent open source projects that they host.

I also checked again this year, if there was a way to support you guys for developing such a great tool.

So I looked at [https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html](https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html) and at the very gottom I read “… Therefore, “please” donate for an excellent piece of software!” followed by a big fat green button “Found this software useful? Please consider a donation to the author. DONATE”  
And the button takes me to [https://www.audacityteam.org/donate/](https://www.audacityteam.org/donate/) – bummer!

It may be that you are not in dire need of support - that’s fine with me, and even better for you - but “404” is certainly not a nice message that you want to give to a well-meaning supporter who made it that far.  
Let me suggest that you simply post a note at this very page, stating your donation policy, whatever it is.  
Anyway – keep up the great work also in 2022!

I’ve emailed FossHub to let them know about the dead link.

I doubt that fosshub can fix this. They link to what they reasonably expect to hold the desired information. But the link target itself - [https://www.audacityteam.org/donate/](https://www.audacityteam.org/donate/) - is empty. So I think it’s up to the Audacity web-owner to provide more than a 404 under this topic.

On the contrary - they seem to have fixed this already - that “Donate” button now links to:

> **[Contributing to Audacity](https://www.audacityteam.org/community/)**
>
> There are several ways to contribute to Audacity. All of them tremendously help out other Audacity users.

which shows ways in which you can contribute to the development of the project by providing your time …

Ahhh … you’re right. So “Donate” now doesn’t lead to a “donate” page - smart move 🙂
