Your Contribution Drives Change

Our mission is clear: to be a reliable partner for the Ruby community by expanding resources, funding opportunities, and programs that empower developers and strengthen open source projects and educational opportunities worldwide.

This gala is an opportunity for our community to come together, recognize the contributions of developers and projects, and help ensure that the Ruby ecosystem continues to thrive.

Your Contribution Directly Supports:

Stronger Infrastructure

We maintain essential tools and services used across the Ruby community. Funding helps improve reliability, security, and the developer experience.

Expanded Fiscal Sponsorship

We provide administrative and financial support to community-driven projects. Additional funding allows more open source ideas or community-led events to grow and succeed.

Developer Access and Inclusion

We are committed to lowering barriers for people entering tech. Support helps us offer global equity initiatives, mentorship opportunities, and access programs for underrepresented developers.

Program and Community Sustainability

Your support strengthens the core operations that keep Ruby Central running and ensures we can continue serving our global communities.

Talent and Community Development

Funding expands scholarships, microgrants for community organizers, and the mentorship initiative, RubyNeXT.

New Programs for the Future

We are building new opportunities for startups, early-career developers, and local ecosystem growth.

The Big Picture

This gala is an investment in the people and projects that power the Ruby ecosystem. Your support helps Ruby Central grow, evolve, and continue serving developers for years to come.
