The Mac Admins Foundation 2026 Drive Starts Today!

in , ,

The Mac Admins community has grown into something truly special. From the free Slack workspace that connects thousands of professionals worldwide to the scholarships we fund for speakers and attendees at conferences around the globe, we've built something worth protecting and growing.

That's why we're thrilled to announce the 2026 Mac Admins Foundation Summer Giving Drive (June 21–July 4), and we're asking for your help to make it our biggest one yet.

Our Goal: $40,000

We're aiming high this year because the community deserves it. Operating costs are climbing, scholarship requests keep coming in, and we're expanding our mentorship program. Your donation during this drive gets us closer to sustainable growth.

And here's the exciting part: we're not doing this alone.

Seven Incredible Sponsors Are Matching Donations

We reached out to some amazing partners and asked if they'd be willing to match donations during this drive. Not only did they say yes—they stepped up big:

Ravenna — Matching the first $5,000

Iru — Matching the first $3,000

Nudge Security — Matching the first $2,500

Fleet — Matching the first $1,500

Workbrew — Matching the first $1,500

Alectrona — Matching the first $1,000

Addigy — Matching the first $1,000

Combined, that's $15,000 in matches. That means your donation goes twice as far.

How Your Donation Makes an Impact

Every dollar donated during this drive goes directly to supporting the Mac Admins community:

  • Sustaining the Mac Admins Slack — Our community hub runs on $400,000+ per year in operational costs. This isn't cheap, but it's worth every penny. We keep it free and accessible for everyone because we believe this community should belong to all Mac admins, regardless of budget.

  • Funding Scholarships — Last year, we proudly funded scholarships to send 13 speakers and attendees to conferences across three different countries. We're hoping to increase that number this year. If you've ever wanted to attend a conference but couldn't justify the cost, this is what we're funding.

How to Donate (And Get Matched)

Ready to help? Here are your options:

  • One-time donation — Donate now and get matched through July 4.

  • Become a recurring donor — Join as a member and unlock benefits like a digital membership card, exclusive stickers, and a discount code for our merch store. If your monthly donation falls during the drive (June 21–July 4), it gets matched too!

  • Give a little extra — Already a recurring donor? Consider making an additional one-time contribution during the drive to maximize the sponsor matches.

A Quick Note of Gratitude

None of this happens without you and our incredible sponsors. This community thrives because people like you believe in supporting each other. Thank you for considering a donation, and thank you to Ravenna, IRU, Nudge Security, Fleet, Workbrew, Alectrona, and Addigy for stepping up to match.

The Mac Admins Foundation exists to support you. But we can't do it without your help.
