# Donate as an Individual

As an Individual, you can donate a minimum of $5. When donating to a project, you may request that your donation be used towards a specific funding goal or all project needs. However, the project maintainers can adjust fund allocations and may not use the funds per requested allocation.

**To donate to a project:**

1. [Sign in](https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/sso/sign-in) to [Crowdfunding](https://funding.communitybridge.org), click **Donate** on a project card.
