+## How you can help
+KDE has become important in the world, and your time and contributions have helped us get there. As we grow, we need your support to keep KDE sustainable.
+
+Would you like to help put together this weekly report? Introduce yourself in [the Matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#this-week-kde-apps:kde.org) and [join the team](https://community.kde.org/Promotion/This_week_in_KDE)!
+
+Beyond that, you can help KDE by directly [getting involved](https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved) in any other projects. Donating time is actually more impactful than donating money. Each contributor makes a huge difference in KDE — you are not a number or a cog in a machine! You don’t have to be a programmer, either; many other opportunities exist.
+
+You can also help out by [making a donation](https://kde.org/donate)! This helps cover operational costs, salaries, travel expenses for contributors, and in general just keeps KDE bringing Free Software to the world.
