-## This project needs funding
-
-Maintaining WordPressCS costs thousands of hours of work and the vast majority of work until now has been done by one, mostly unpaid, contributor (@jrfnl), with code review support from two fellow maintainers.
-
-**This situation is unsustainable.**
-
-A large part of the WordPress community, including WordPress Core, relies heavily on the WordPress Coding Standards for code quality and security checks.
-
-Unless funding is found to continue maintaining WordPressCS and its dependencies, the future is bleak and maintenance will be halted.
-
-If you are an agency, a corporate entity or even a passionate user who wishes to help fund the continued maintenance of WordPressCS, you can donate to the [WP PHP Open Collective](https://opencollective.com//thewpcc/contribute/wp-php-63406).
