The magazine shared 50% of its yearly profits with reader-voted FOSS projects. The profits were split between 'software' and 'projects and distros' with the top 3 winners in each category receiving a part of the total funds. In 2015 the winners in the software category were [[Scribus]] which was awarded £1000, [[GIMP]] was awarded £300 and [[Inkscape]] was awarded £200. In the projects and distros category, the [[Open Rights Group]] was awarded £1000, the [[Electronic Frontier Foundation]] was awarded £300 and the [[Free Software Foundation]] was awarded £200.<ref>{{cite web|title=First Profit Donating Scheme: The Winners!|url=http://www.linuxvoice.com/first-profit-donating-scheme-the-winners/|author=Andrew Gregory|date=May 7, 2015|access-date=June 2, 2015|archive-date=December 8, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208075430/http://www.linuxvoice.com/first-profit-donating-scheme-the-winners/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
