Blender Foundation Launches Pay It Forward Fundraiser to Secure 2027 Goal

The Blender Foundation has officially launched the Pay It Forward fundraiser, a campaign designed to secure the funding needed for the 2027 development cycle of the popular 3D creation suite. Relying entirely on community support rather than corporate ownership or subscription fees, the initiative aims to maintain free and unrestricted access to professional 3D tools for artists worldwide.

The organization is asking active users to contribute a suggested amount of ten euros during the month to cover development costs, infrastructure, and the team behind the software. Contributions of any size help sustain the independent ecosystem, ensuring that future artists continue to benefit from professional 3D technology without financial barriers.
