Field Data Collector was initially developed with PHMSA grant funding to serve the utility industry. While the core software is now complete, FDC 2.0 will require community funding to move forward. As community-supported software, we're seeking financial support from utility companies, industry organizations, and stakeholders who will benefit from a significant advancement in field data collection technology.

We need your help. FDC 2.0 development will require $100,000 in community donations. Your contribution (whether $100 or $10,000) will directly fund the features that will improve field operations for utility professionals nationwide. By supporting FDC, you're investing in a tool built by and for the utility industry. Major donors will be recognized as official FDC Development Partners on our website and in all project communications.

Your contributions will directly fund:

• New feature development - Building the capabilities your team needs for more efficient field operations
• Platform maintenance - Ensuring reliable performance, security updates, and compatibility with evolving mobile devices
• Infrastructure costs - Hosting, data storage, and server resources that keep FDC running smoothly
• Technical support - Resources to help users maximize the value of FDC in their workflows
• Documentation and training - Creating materials that help your team get up to speed quickly

As community-supported software, FDC's roadmap is shaped by the professionals who use it. Your support ensures we can continue to build toward delivering innovations that matter most to utility mapping workflows.
