+## Please sponsor Ajv development
+
+Dear Ajv users! ❤️
+
+I ask you to support the development of Ajv with donations. 🙏
+
+Since 2015 Ajv has become widely used, thanks to your help and contributions:
+
+- **90** contributors 🏗
+- **5,000** dependent npm packages ⚙️
+- **7,000** github stars, from GitHub users [all over the world](https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1MGRV8ciFUGIbO1l0EKFWNJGYE7iSkDxP&ll=-3.81666561775622e-14%2C4.821737100000007&z=2) ⭐️
+- **5,000,000** dependent repositories on GitHub 🚀
+- **120,000,000** npm downloads per month! 💯
+
+Your donations will fund futher development - small and large improvements, support of the next versions of JSON Schema specification, and, possibly, the code should be migrated to TypeScript to make it more maintainable.
+
+I will greatly appreciate anything you can help with to make it happen:
+
+- a **personal** donation - from $2 ☕️
+- your **company** donation - from $10 🍔
+- a **sponsorship** to get promoted on Ajv or related packages - from $50 💰
