If you are looking for a meaningful way to give back to the OSM US community this holiday season, we encourage you to invest in our work by becoming a member or by making an end-of-year gift. Your support strengthens the capacity of OSM US to advocate, educate, build community, and improve accessibility to open data through OpenStreetMap.

Cheers!
