TeX Development Fund

The TeX Development Fund was created by the TeX Users Group in 2003, under the aegis of the TUG Technical Council, to aid growth of TeX-related technical projects. We encourage any organization, group, or individual doing TeX-related development work to apply.

• For applicants: to apply for a grant, please read and fill out the online grant application. See also the criteria for grant selection, which includes a wishlist of projects we'd be thrilled to see undertaken.
• For donors: we very much appreciate any contribution. Please see the general donation information and form, as well as the specific development donation page, which also allows donating to certain projects via European bank transfer.
• For groups wishing to participate: we welcome contributions and participation from any interested TeX user group or other organization. Please see this information on the development fund process and guidelines.

The first set of grants was awarded in March 2003, with more grants awarded on a rolling basis after that. See the complete list of recipient projects and list of donors. Thank you, everyone.
