I can’t find KDE’s financial report, but in a video I watched it was claimed that Thunderbird collected more donations than KDE. It seems quite hard to believe, but in 2022 Thunderbird collected more than 6,4 million dollars.

KDE is an entire desktop environment, with a bunch of applications and even partnerships that have yielded a KDE laptop. Should Thunderbird have been able to collect more money than KDE itself, there might be something that KDE can learn from Thunderbird.

Edit: Added the link to the video that I watched

    @Toes I have the real reason!

    I tried to donate and the recurring webpage won’t render in browser or desktop Firefox.

    Also it is in Euro’s with no information on what that is in your local currency.

    Lastly I haven’t heard of a single bank in the list of direct debit list.

    Basically I think they’ve made it too hard for UK/USA/RoW to donate.

      Hi,

      Which website are you going to donate? Have you tried this or this?

      Let me know if you have any trouble and thanks for your support.

        @Bro666 yes the issues is in the Donerbox element.

        It doesn’t resize on Firefox and there aren’t embedded scrollbars. So when you get to the 3rd screen you can’t progress

        Issue affects desktop and mobile versions of Firefox.
