Sponsors

The following institutions support IPython with significant resources:

In the summer of 2013, Microsoft made a $100,000 donation to support all aspects of the IPython project.

In December 2012, IPython was awarded a $1.15 million grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation that will fund the core team for the 2013-2014 period.

As of Summer 2013, Rackspace generously provides cloud hosting for the project. This is used for development and the hosting of IPython related services, such as the IPython Notebook Viewer. We thank Jesse Noller and Kyle Kelley at Rackspace for setting up this sponsorship and helping with deployment respectively.

Contributing

If you would like to support the project by making a substantial or periodic contribution, please contact us directly (ipython@gmail.com). All donations to IPython are handled by NumFOCUS and are tax-deductible in the USA.

Individuals can also donate to IPython, and we are grateful for every contribution!
