This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Processing Foundation Fellowship Program! A decade of fostering innovation, creativity, and education. Our fellowship program supports 8 incredible projects that enrich our community and beyond with 10,000$ in funding support as well as mentorship, programs, and opportunities to grow/share their journeys with a cohort of incredible makers, thinkers, coders, and educators!
As we celebrate this decade of code, we're thrilled to invite you to join our annual fundraiser. Your financial support is vital in continuing our mission of promoting software learning within the arts and artistic learning within technology-related fields.
Here’s how your contribution makes a difference:
Software development: Your donations fund the development of our software projects; new features, better contributor support, improved documentation, and more.
Community support: Your donations help us offer resources and opportunities for artists and technologists to collaborate, learn, and create.
Education: Your donations help us support and expand our existing educational initiatives and partnerships with learning institutions.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Your donations help us continue to focus on making technology accessible and equitable, celebrating all voices in the fields of art and code.

Special Rewards for Supporters
To thank you for your support, we've assembled a selection of rewards!
At various tiers, you will receive a sticker pack, a tech taco to store your cables, and a Processing Foundation tote bag.
But wait, there's more! The first 100 donors contributing $100 or more will receive an exclusive enamel pin designed by the renowned generative artist Anna Carreras. This pin celebrates ten years of collaborative art, coding, and education. In Anna's own words: "An overlapping and interconnected burst of art using code that means more than we can imagine. Like a flower blossoming diversity."
For any amount donated, you will also receive a collection of unique wallpapers created specially for this event by artists from the community. They are a beautifully designed collection of generative desktop backgrounds made in p5.js and Processing. Check your e-mail after donating for the link. If you can't afford to donate but still want to get the wallpaper collection, just subscribe to our newsletter! The next issue(s) will include a link to the wallpaper collection.
Finally, a great way to support us is to share this fundraiser on social media using the hashtag #DecadeOfCode.
