The jQuery Foundation Mission
The jQuery Foundation is a member supported non-profit trade association for web developers. We:
- Coordinate development on our open source projects: jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile, QUnit, and Sizzle.
- Provide high-quality documentation for our projects: api.jquery.com, api.jqueryui.com, api.jquerymobile.com, and learn.jquery.com.
- Host world-wide conferences for developers to learn and share their experiences in creating applications: events.jquery.org.
- Participate in the web standards process as an advocate for the needs of web developers, through groups such as the W3C and ECMA TC39 (JavaScript).
Support the jQuery Foundation
The jQuery Foundation is fully supported by generous donations of time and money. You and your company can help:
- Donate to jQuery today. You can send a small or large amount via PayPal or by check. Every bit makes a difference.
- Join the jQuery Foundation. Individual members receive an annual membership gift such as a t-shirt, hoodie, or bag, depending on their membership level. Corporate members receive discounts on conference sponsorships and recognition at our many world-wide events. All members are recognized on our members page, jquery.org/members.
- Contribute time or services. Like any organization, we constantly need people to write code, maintain servers, write documentation, and many other tasks. If you or your company would like to donate time or services, please contact us.
- Apply for a jQuery credit card. For every person who receives a jQuery credit card, the jQuery Foundation gets $50. The card has no annual fee and gives you reward points for purchases.
