Build with us

We want projects to succeed on their own terms

At the Commonhaus Foundation (CF), we're committed to creating a collaborative environment that nurtures the growth and sustainability of projects and their communities.

Our guiding principles are straightforward yet impactful:

  • Honor project and community identity
  • Offer guidance and support instead of imposing mandates
  • Maintain transparency in all of our actions
  • Encourage long-term thinking for sustained project impact

What sets Commonhaus apart

Inspired by the legacy of Codehaus, the Commonhaus Foundation offers a balanced approach to governance and support, designed for the unique needs of established open source projects.

Stable, long-term home

We acknowledge the evolving nature of projects. By providing a neutral home, we offer an anchor supporting growth over time. We're committed to ensuring smooth transitions and fostering long-term project health with thoughtful succession planning.

Minimum viable governance

Adhering to a "community-first" model, we offer support that respects project autonomy, ensuring governance is effective without being restrictive.

Streamlined access to funding

As a fiscal host with connections to platforms like GitHub Sponsors and OpenCollective, we simplify the process of securing funding, providing your project with the resources it needs for sustainability and growth.
