Discontinued. This listing is kept in OSS.Fund for reference, but the platform no longer appears active.

Bountysource was one of the best-known platforms for posting and funding bounties on open source issues, and it also supported project fundraising campaigns. The service is now discontinued after long-running payout, insolvency, and trust issues, but it remains historically relevant to the evolution of OSS bounty funding.
