About
Funds contributed through Friends of Grails will be allocated to continuing the development of Grails, with the current focus on Grails 7. The Friends of Grails Admin Team will approve tasks and project expenses, based on available funds. Everything is publicly visible on the OpenCollective site.
The community steering committee is working on a proposal to submit Grails to the Apache Software Foundation. Before, during and after that process, the Friends of Grails on OpenCollective will support a portion of the ongoing development of the framework. The majority of development is expected to come from organizations and individuals directly contributing time and code to the project and the process through Friends of Grails will contribute to this collectively.
As a general principle, it doesn't accept "cash for code" so that individual cash payments can't force contributions into a project which aren't aligned with community consensus.

This collective does accept cash contributions and uses those to support the Grails community in an unofficial capacity. This is intended to augment the activities of the official project rather than overlap in any way. The collective may choose to use funds to:
- develop new features
- support releases including updating dependencies
- fix bugs
- testing
As a general principle, we try to direct funds as best we can to meet the desires of contributors.
Disclaimer
Any code or documentation produced with the assistance of this collective must be submitted to the project in the normal way and are subject to normal community vetting.
Funding priorities
At the moment, we expect most code contributions to the Grails project will still come from normal involvement in the project, i.e. will be contributed for free or by (partially) sponsored contributors. This collective will focus on giving additional emphasis to particular activities that aren't proceeding (or not proceeding quickly enough) under the steam of the project's normal resources. This involves funding or subsidising particular agreed upon activities. As a general rule, if you want to be involved or submit an expense, please get in touch. We generally only accept expense submissions for previously agreed activities with a well-defined outcome.
