'''DonationCoder.com''' is a website hosting a community of programmers and software fans. It supports a donation-based model to organize and finance software development, and is one example of [[Donationware]].<ref>{{Cite web|first=|date=2009-11-29|title=The best (freeware) programs to come out of DonationCoder|url=https://dottech.org/12520/the-best-of-the-best-of-donationcoder/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-05-21|website=dotTech|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121113125511/http://dottech.org/12520/the-best-of-the-best-of-donationcoder/ |archive-date=2012-11-13 }}</ref>

The community develops and finances its own free software, software reviews, [[podcasts]], and a diverse [[Computer programming|programming]] school. Funding is accomplished using a grant-like system of [[micro-donations]]. All donors to the site receive their donation back as ''DonationCredits'' which they can then trade amongst themselves to support different projects and reward activities contributing to the community. All members are considered equal and simply donate an amount they feel comfortable with.

The community also fosters collaboration on free services, [[Computer programming|programming]] contests, and [[academic]] projects.

The site has an active forum which focuses on developments in [[software]]. DonationCoder has been recognized by [[Lifehacker]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/5845820/text-2-folder-creates-many-folders-at-once|title=Text 2 Folder Creates Many Folders at Once|date=2 October 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/5494480/moveout-automates-file-renaming-and-relocation|title = MoveOut Automates File Renaming and Relocation| date=16 March 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/304548/take-and-annotate-screenshots-with-screenshot-captor|title=Take and Annotate Screenshots with Screenshot Captor|date=28 September 2007 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/5243959/activehotkeys-shows-you-which-keys-are-available|title=ActiveHotkeys Shows You Which Keys Are Available|date=7 May 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/340484/apps-for-music-and-more-at-donation-coder|title = Apps for Music and More at Donation Coder| date=4 January 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/330688/try-out-10-free-productivity-apps-at-donation-coder|title = Try Out 10 Free Productivity Apps at Donation Coder| date=6 December 2007 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/199404/download-of-the-day-gridmove-windows|title = Download of the Day: GridMove (Windows)| date=8 September 2006 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/178599/download-of-the-day--fsekrit|title=Download of the Day: FSekrit|date=10 June 2006 }}</ref> [[Ghacks]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ghacks.net/tag/donation-coder/ |title=Donation-coder |access-date=2012-07-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120707192727/http://www.ghacks.net/tag/donation-coder/ |archive-date=2012-07-07 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and other well-known and reputable blogs<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,68863-order,4/description.html |title=Screenshot Captor description, Tools Downloads List by 30 Day Change | PCWorld | PCWorld |accessdate=2012-07-11 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120707055434/http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,68863-order,4/description.html |archivedate=2012-07-07 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2009-12-27|title=The Greatest Windows Tips of All Time|url=https://www.pcworld.com/article/184619/greatest-windows-tips-of-all-time.html|access-date=2021-05-21|website=PCWorld|language=en}}</ref> for its adherence to the principles of [[freeware]] and [[open source software]].
