The Write for DOnations program brings together two initiatives: building reference content to help developers, and supporting tech-focused charities and nonprofits. Authors who contribute to our growing collection of tutorials on open-source software deployment, configuration, and development will also have the opportunity to give back to a growing list of tech-focused nonprofits. Our goals are to enable authors to give back to the DigitalOcean and open-source communities, and to strengthen these communities by supporting the work of charities, nonprofits, and activists.

FAQ

How is Write for DOnations different from Write for DigitalOcean?

The editorial process for Write for DOnations will remain the same: an initial submission, followed by a round of collaboration and editorial review, and a final publication. There will also be a payout to the author, as in the Write for DigitalOcean program. Write for DOnations matches that payout in the form of a contribution from DigitalOcean to either a single nonprofit or a group of nonprofits that share a similar mission.

Can I choose the charity or nonprofit that will receive the matching payout?

We will be able to offer each author a choice of nonprofits from a growing list. You can select a single nonprofit, or split the donation between a group of nonprofits united under similar missions. At this time, it is not possible for authors to select a charity or nonprofit that is not on our list, but we hope to expand the program in the future to include this capability.

Will my donation be tax-deductible?

Because DigitalOcean will be processing the donation through Bright Funds, it won’t be possible for you to claim it as a charitable deduction on your tax return.

What is the payout structure for Write for DOnations?

The typical payout for community authors in the Write for DOnations program is increasing from the Write for DigitalOcean program to $300 for typical tutorial content. This payout will then be matched with a charitable donation that DigitalOcean will make to a nonprofit or group of nonprofits selected by the author.

How long will the Write for DOnations program last?

Right now, we are in a beta phase of the program. We anticipate that this will last for several months. Should we decide to end the program, we will provide advance notice to all participating authors.

I am a first-time author. Can I make updates to a DigitalOcean tutorial?

At this time, we ask all first-time authors to first write an original tutorial in order to gain a better understanding of our style and technical requirements.

Can I translate a DigitalOcean tutorial?

At this time, we are not accepting translations for publication. You may publish a translation of your own, using the guidelines described in the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommericial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
