# Funding Options We encourage Communities to get creative about funding channels beyond the standard reward tiers. Get inspired by these ideas, and come up with your own! The Donate PR platform is flexible enough to accommodate all kinds of creative approaches. Check with your [Fiscal Host](/fiscal-hosts/fiscal-hosts.md) to see if these options are available to you. ## Ethical Advertising Speaking to niche audiences, like developers, in their own environment is one way OSS can leverage the tangible value it provides companies. ## Swag Shop Give something to your contributors for their donations—swag! Sell t-shirts or other items and put the funds in your Community budget. Usually, you can set up sales revenue to go directly to your fiscal host via PayPal or bank transfer. Then the host can credit the amount to your Community. Different hosts have different policies, so reach out to them and confirm. As this is a manual process, hosts generally prefer aggregating transactions and crediting less frequently (such as once a month). Get in touch with your fiscal host for details. ## Affiliations Some projects can participate in affiliate programs. ## Sponsored Bounties Your Sponsors can set up bounties for features they want. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
