Become a sponsor to Ryan Bayne

I'm Ryan, a father of four from Fife, Scotland, and the founder of Fife CIC — a Community Interest Company built entirely by volunteers in 2026 with zero external funding to date.

What started as years of solo open-source WordPress development has grown into something bigger. Fife CIC develops technology and community services that create real opportunities for people in our area — from pathways into employment and skills training, to supporting single parents, elderly residents, and women returning to work.

Every project under the FifeCIC organisation on GitHub was built by unpaid volunteers. Your sponsorship directly helps us:

🎁 Reward contributors through our Fair Incentive Policy — revenue-sharing credits, service discounts, training, and recognition

🛠️ Cover development costs — hosting, tooling, and services that keep our projects running

🌍 Fund community missions — our profits fund local initiatives voted on by our community, including children's health programmes, single parent support, and elderly winter resilience

Where we're headed: Fife CIC is building a community ecosystem where technology profits fund local services and create diverse work opportunities — from web development to domestic services — all managed through our own bespoke platform.

Even a small monthly contribution helps us prove that volunteer-driven, community-owned technology can make a real difference.
