The system is aimed at individual users and organizations, with Zorin Grid available for managing Zorin OS computers in businesses, schools and other settings. Zorin OS is funded by the community, and the project offers Zorin OS Pro alongside a donation option. Zorin OS Technologies Limited, based in Ireland, develops and maintains the product.
