+
+If you are already an Octave user and would like to see it improve more rapidly,
+then please donate so that we can spend more of our time working on Octave.
+If we could raise as little as $300,000/year,
+we could pay several key developers to work full time on Octave.
+Given even the most conservative estimate of the number of users of Octave,
+this amount could easily be reached if every user contributed the cost of
+a few lattes.
+
+If your company has a budget for numerical computing tools,
+consider spending 10% (or more!) of that on Octave.
+Do you expect Octave to improve on a $0 budget
+while the proprietary tools are well-funded by your license fees?
