Anaconda Inc. contributes through regular donations to NumFOCUS, providing engineering resources, and generously covering hosting fees for anaconda.org. This support is essential for keeping community channels like conda-forge and Bioconda free and accessible. + +However, it's important to clarify that the conda ecosystem is governed by an independent, diverse community committed to offering free and open source tools and unrestricted package repositories for all users.
