What happens when I donate to KDE? Do I get a thank you message?

I am aware of the github sponsors and have been on the KDE website on the donation pages. I was kinda wondering. Is like like being on a list of sponsors? This is not a trick question. I am curious what happens. Like sure I might know I have done it, but will there be a message saying “thank you for supporting KDE” I know what happens when you buy something you get a thank you and receipt page depending on what it is. But what about just donating to KDE in this case. Has anyone done it and seen the result? The github sponsor method seems clear on what happens “A Public Sponsor achievement will be added to your profile.” What about the direct paypal related donation you can do from the kde.org site? I just wanna know what actually happens. Oh and will I get an email if donate? Like will I get some kind of email about it? If it doesn’t ask for my email it makes me think I wouldn’t get an email.

So I have seen the thank you email now. So that’s nice. I donated to KDE now. Also I have the new badge now

My donation badge for KDE!

Also the badge was really big. Here’s a smaller image. Also was something just here typing a minute ago?

If anyone has anything to say feel free. Would love to hear any thoughts or a hello. I am a fan of KDE plasma. Have been for a long time.

Oh oh… The badge says “2024”. We are renewing the badge soon! I’ll send you the new version via DM as soon as it is done.
