+We're delighted to announce the possibility of helping our cooperative through
+the GitHub Sponsors platform. The link is available here:
+
+[https://github.com/sponsors/robur-coop](https://github.com/sponsors/robur-coop)
+
+We would also like to reiterate the possibility of making a donation[^preferable] to our
+cooperative via the IBAN of [Änderwerk][anderwerk] available here (if you need
+a tax-deductible donation receipt, please use [this form][donate]).
+
+    Account holder: Änderwerk gGmbH
+    Subject: robur
+    IBAN: DE46 4306 0967 1289 8604 00

+    Bank: GLS Gemeinschaftsbank, Christstrasse 9, 44789 Bochum, Germany
+
+More generally, you can refer to our [article][financial] which explains our
+funding since the creation of Robur and we would like to point out that,
+despite our funding, part of our work remains unfunded: in particular with
+regard to the maintenance of certain software as well as certain services made
+available to our users.
+
+We would therefore be delighted if users of our software and services could
+finance our work according to their means. GitHub in particular offers an
+easy-to-use platform for funding us (even if, in all transparency, it takes a
+certain amount from each transaction).

+
+[^preferable]: In fact, this method is preferable to us as this means it will go directly to us instead of through GitHub and Stripe who will take a small cut of the donation in fees.
