+How can I donate money to the project?
+======================================
+
+The Orthanc project **does not accept donations for now**. We think
+it's a poor business model for running an open source project as it
+suggests the developers are working for charity.
+
+If you want to **help the project financially as an end-user**, you
+can approach some of the companies offering commercial support for
+Orthanc and engage their services. Doing so creates a healthy
+ecosystem around the project where companies are encouraged to
+contribute their resources to improve the project to create a larger
+pool of potential customers wanting their services. Those companies
+can be found at the following locations:
+
+* `Orthanc Pro contact form <https://www.orthanc-server.com/orthanc-pro.php>`__.
+
+* List of `freelancers, small companies, or volunteers providing
+  custom assistance
+  <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/orthanc-users/vWpHWFkYiWI/vB5eRM1WCQAJ>`__
+  on the Orthanc Users forum.
+
+Also, if you are a **commercial company** that builds upon the Orthanc
+project for your own products, please use the `Orthanc Pro contact
+form <https://www.orthanc-server.com/orthanc-pro.php>`__ so as to
+engage one of the companies that provide commercial support to
+accelerate your feature. Currently, `Osimis <https://www.osimis.io/>`_
+is the only company ensuring such corporate services, but others might
+show up in the future.
+
+We appreciate **positive feedback** on our project as well. If you are
+on Twitter, send us a tweet to `@OrthancServer
+<https://twitter.com/OrthancServer>`__. That helps raise awareness of
+our project so others can benefit from it as well.
+
+Finally, don't forget to have a look :ref:`other ways to contribute
+<contributing>` to the Orthanc project.
