How five percent is powering the next generation of the web

WordPress needs YOU!

Five for the Future is an initiative promoting the WordPress community’s contribution to the platform’s growth. As an open source project, WordPress is created by a diverse collection of people from around the world.

What is Five for the Future?

Launched in 2014, Five for the Future encourages organizations to contribute five percent of their resources to WordPress development. WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg set this benchmark to maintain a “golden ratio” of contributors to users.

The community has risen to the challenge, with participation more than quadrupling since launch.

Who should participate

Anyone can contribute to Five for the Future. Many contributors focus on the technical side of WordPress, such as core development, but there are also teams working in other areas like marketing, translation, training, and community. There is always a way to get involved, whatever your skillset.

Why you should participate

Contributors have the opportunity to learn alongside passionate innovators who are more than happy to share their skills.

For organizations, it is a more cost-effective training initiative than most traditional programs.

Participants see a number of benefits:

• Identifying and recruiting talent.
• Finding end-user customers or new clients.
• Influencing the direction of the WordPress platform.
• Contributing to the future of the operating system of the web.
