Give Back to Blender

Help funding Blender in 2026

If Blender helped you with your projects this year, we're asking you to help us back.

For the past year, you've had access to professional 3D software, completely free. No subscriptions, no licenses, no limits. Blender has been there for your projects, your learning, your art, your business.

Today, we're asking for $5.

That's it. If every active Blender user contributed $5 this month, Blender Foundation would meet its entire yearly funding goal for 2026.

What's New

Blender 5.0 is good news across the board. For many, the biggest change is probably the full support for ACES pipelines, improved color management, and HDR capabilities. For others, it might be the new Volumes and SDF nodes in Geometry Nodes. Storytellers will appreciate the new Storyboarding template, if you’re further along in your project perhaps all the new Array or Scatter on Surface modifiers for modeling, the reworked UV Sync, or you may enjoy all the animation and rigging improvements. One thing is certain, everyone will benefit from the 588 bugs fixed!

Go Experimental

Blender evolves every day. Experimental builds have the latest features and while there might be cool bug fixes too, they are unstable and can mess up your files.

It is not recommended to use these on production environments.
