@ramsey @thephpf I
would like to know why Wordpress and Laravel are not contributing more directly as well.

@mmoore @thephpf Automattic (WordPress) is a platinum sponsor and has donated the most money overall at USD $762,500 total. Laravel has donated $34,000 total.

@ramsey @thephpf Yeah Laravel has donated $34k and their estimated annual revenue is something like $45 million right?

Automattic’s was $500 million in 2024.

@mmoore @thephpf I’m not arguing that they shouldn’t donate more, but the correct response to “if you use PHP and receive value from it, you should support the foundation” isn’t “these other folks should be supporting it.” 🙂
