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

GitFund was an early attempt to connect GitHub issue priorities with direct donations, so users could fund the features they most wanted to see built. The experiment did not gain enough traction and was closed, but it remains relevant as a historical example of feature-prioritization funding.
