In celebration of this significant milestone, the Blender Foundation orchestrated a donation campaign throughout December 2023. Themed “a gift for Blender,” the initiative encouraged contributions of all sizes to express solidarity with the project and sustain its autonomy as it continues to evolve.

The campaign achieved remarkable success, garnering over 10,000 gifts, including both one-time donations and memberships in the Development Fund. In just one month, the community rallied to raise over 200,000 EUR. A heartfelt thank you extends to all who generously donated!

While reflecting on this incredible journey is inspiring, the team emphasizes the importance of not dwelling on past achievements. To convey this sentiment, they have crafted a captivating video.

Here’s to the next 30 years of Blender’s innovative journey!
