A screenshot of the slide used to show off the companies that support the Open Home Foundation - the company names take up the right 2/3 of the screen, with some text on the left side describing the slide. The foundation has a Commercial partnership with Nabu Casa, and have received $25,000 donations from DuckDuckGo and Espressif. We also receive support from other companies in non-monetary forms - Cloudflare, Ghost, GitHub, Lokalise, Netlify, and Sentry. Text on the left reads: Who supports our work The work of the Open Home Foundation is made possible through the contributions of these organizations:
Donation news!! 📰 What's happened in the 1st year of the @openhomefoundation.org?
✔️ Donations from Espressif and DuckDuckGo to support our efforts
💸 Donations to aiohttp, Buildroot, & Alpine Linux

Screenshot of the slide talking about the new way the Nabu Casa and Open Home Foundation's organizational structures. In 2024, we had more employees at Nabu Casa than the foundation, and in 2025 Nabu Casa now has a few employees with many more in the OHF. Text reads: Moving Forward All employees who work directly on Foundation projects now work for the Foundation.
HUGE news from #SOTOH2025 - employees have moved from Nabu Casa to the OpenHomeFoundation! 🥳
How will this impact you? It won't! This means that instead of Nabu Casa dedicating employee time to the OHF, it gives the foundation money to let it decide what it wants to do. 🙌🏻
AND WE'RE LIVE 👏🏻
