So, to start funding, some daunting tasks include: + +* Responsibility of supporting open-source projects. +* Selecting a project to fund. +* Deciding on the donation subscription tier for funding for each project. +* Keep track of dependencies to fund. + +Interestingly, there is a service that **solves the problem, i.e. StackAid.** + +### StackAid: What Does it Do? + +> ⚠️ StackAid is not an open-source service, and it's in beta phase, targeted for developers and project contributors who want to fund the dependencies linked to their projects. + +StackAid aims to help you quickly fund the dependencies of your project in one go. + +It finds your project's dependencies (**direct and indirect**) through its GitHub app (**invite-only access**) and allocate funds as per your subscription to distribute it among them. + +![][4] + +The subscription to StackAid starts at **$15**. + +You require your project's **package.json**file or generate a **stackaid.json** file (using [GitHub action][5]) to automate listing the dependencies. Of course, you can edit the list manually and add more as well. + +You also get the ability to select the dependencies you want to support. + +![][6] + +It then automates the funding allocation by evenly distributing your subscription fee among various dependencies. + +Note that StackAid receives the same amount as a direct dependency out of the subscription fee to make money. However, the maximum it takes is **7.5%** of the total subscription fee. + +### How Do Open-Source Projects Get the Money? + +StackAid explains that the open-source projects can claim their repositories by installing the StackAid GitHub app. + +We reached out to them to clarify how the repository owners will get notified/know about StackAid in the first place. And, this was the response: + +StackAid mentions that if a project does not claim the amount allocated to them by subscribers, the amount gets re-allocated to other dependencies that are claimed. This is a good thing. + +You can explore more on their website. + +[StackAid][7] + +The concept sounds nice. And, it will be interesting if this can be a platform for users in the near future (not just developers or maintainers). + +*💬 What do you think about StackAid?
