If I go here, and click on the donate to julia button, the page just reloads. I clicked to donate on the top menu bar, but I think I just donated to NumFocus in general. Sure, I support NumFocus in general, but I actually was trying to donate directly to Julia.

Some community member may want to get this figured out?

Can’t change it but can confirm it.

As an alternative, you may want to consider sponsoring Julia on GitHub ([https://github.com/sponsors/JuliaLang](https://github.com/sponsors/JuliaLang)). Both one-time payments as well as monthly sponsoring is possible (I donate 5$ per month).

(@logankilpatrick: Any idea what’s wrong here and how to fix it? Or is this expected behavior?)

Nice, I pretty rarely do monthly donations, but I did set up $5/mo in this case. I’m easily getting that much just out of the enjoyment.

Thanks for reporting this. Someone at NumFOCUS is investigating.

On the other hand that also gives your github account an upgrade, doesn’t it?

For example, github actions minutes are increased, aren’t they?

Frankly, that would be news to me and wasn’t part of my consideration when deciding to sponsor. But I’d take it 🙂

Ditto.
