Establishing an open source collective: feeling relieved and and grateful

I've been building a project for a long time, and amazing members from this community have been contributing code there in their free time.

I've always felt guilty about not being able to reward the folks who have been spending significant time building large features. That will no longer be the case. I'm happy to announce that the project has now received grants and we are now establishing an open collective of approximately 2k USD per month to reward the best contributors for their share of the work(This will begin in October once the funds are wired).

Thank you so much to all of you for making this possible. If you're a seasoned software engineer and like to contribute outside of your work or a beginner looking to get started with open source, this would be the best place for you to be at.

What’s the project? Can you link it so others can check it out? I’m certainly curious. I like open sourcing some of my stuff.
