1# Codex for Open Source
2
3Open-source maintainers do critical work, often behind the scenes, to keep the software ecosystem healthy. Over the past year, the Codex Open Source Fund ($1 million) has supported projects that need API credits, including teams using Codex to power GitHub pull request workflows. OpenAI is grateful to the maintainers who keep that work moving.

5The fund now supports eligible maintainers by offering six months of ChatGPT Pro with Codex and conditional access to Codex Security for core maintainers with write access. Developers should code in the tools they prefer, whether that’s Codex, [OpenCode](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode), [Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline), [pi](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/tree/main/packages/coding-agent), [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw), or something else, and this program supports that work.
