npm fund: Usage & Output

See which dependencies request funding.

npm fund lists packages in your tree that declare a funding field, so you can support the projects you depend on.

What it does

Walks the dependency tree and prints packages with a funding entry, grouped by URL. npm fund <pkg> opens (or prints) a specific package funding URL. The brief "packages are looking for funding" note after install is separate and controlled by the fund config.

Common usage

Terminal
npm fund                    # list funding links
npm fund react              # show funding for one package
npm install --no-fund       # suppress the post-install fund note

Common CI tip: quiet the funding output

The post-install funding message adds noise to CI logs. Disable it globally with the fund config so installs stay quiet, without affecting anything else.

.github/workflows/ci.yml
npm config set fund false
# or per-command:
npm ci --no-fund --no-audit
