We pay 10% of each product's profits to the maintainers of the open source project it depends on.
We're open source maintainers too, and we want to make open source sustainable. We depend on these projects to provide our service — they deserve to share in the success.
After reasonable salaries, healthcare and other benefits, and operating costs for our team, 10% of each product's remaining profits go directly to its upstream maintainers.
1% Community & Ecosystem Pledge
We donate 1% of our profits to non-profit organizations working to protect digital rights, sustain open-source developer ecosystems, support public health, and deliver humanitarian relief.
We believe in using business as a force for good. By choosing CloudBreak, you're not just supporting great software — you're also supporting digital freedom and vital community causes.
After reasonable salaries, healthcare and other benefits, and operating costs for our team, 1% of remaining profits (alongside 100% of our charitable team-learning spend) go directly to these non-profits.
