Community Bridge was the Linux Foundation’s original brand for its open source fundraising tooling and now lives within the broader LFX platform. Projects can apply for crowdfunding, security-audit, general-fund, event, or travel-fund support, collect donations, and reimburse approved expenses through a transparent ledger and payout workflow.
