Your money IS Needed
GCBASIC Project is an Open Source Project but there are real costs involved. Each year, we ask for your contributions to cover these expenses.
GC Studio, the website, the tools, the storage, the software licenses, the backups, the testing hardware—the list is long.
I always try to secure industry or supplier discounts, but money is still needed.
Global inflation continues to raise costs, and while buying services from international suppliers has helped mitigate some increases, the financial burden remains.

Annual Notes:
- In 2025, fundraising raised $619.32, which successfully covered the year’s costs. Thank you!
- We may incur additional hosting costs from SourceForge in 2026. These are not included in the estimate.
- The XOJO license has already been renewed to avoid the risk of losing it and paying for a full license.
- While it might seem like these costs could be reduced, the management overhead of making changes is significant.
