+## january 2025 funding update
+
+hi @everyone! a little update from [last month's announcement](/posts/2024-12-05-downtime-notes/).
+
+we've signed a sponsorship agreement with [Prodigi](https://prodigi.nz) -
+they've agreed to let us use some of their space in a US datacenter
+(specifically HE FMT2).
+> Prodigi is a New Zealand based technology services provider. They offer shared
+web hosting and VPSes, as well as business networking and consultancy services.
+
+while we have datacenter space available now, we still need to buy servers to
+put there. we've bought some hardware with the donations from last month (thank
+you very much!), but we're looking for **$2000** more in donations. this will
+allow us to get servers that will last us a very long time, and support the bot
+as it gets bigger in the future.
+
+one-time donations are best on
+[buy me a coffee](https://buymeacoffee.com/pluralkit), but donations on
+[patreon](https://patreon.com/pluralkit) are appreciated too. if neither of
+those work for you, let us know in the
+[support server](https://discord.gg/PczBt78).
+
+alternatively, if you're a enterprise hardware manufacturer/vendor (or SFMIX,
+since we'll need a port there) and would like to also sponsor us, please reach
+out at <team@pluralkit.me> :​)
+
+we're hoping to get everything set up in the new datacenter and the bot moved
+over towards end of february / beginning of march. we'll let you know!
