+# Turn Off npm Funding Message
+
+When you run `npm install`, you'll see a few different details output to your
+terminal. One you are probably used to seeing is the one about packages looking
+for funding.
+
+```bash
+❯ npm install
+
+up to date, audited 253 packages in 2s
+
+88 packages are looking for funding
+  run `npm fund` for details
+
+6 vulnerabilities (1 low, 4 moderate, 1 high)
+```
+
+If for whatever reason you need to turn off this (e.g. for scripting and CI
+purposes), you can globally configure it with the `npm config` command.
+
+```bash
+❯ npm config set fund false --location=global
+```
+
+Run an `npm install` again and the funding message will no longer show.
+
+This edits the `npmrc` located in the `/etc` directory of wherever your current
+version of Node is installed. Running `npm config edit --global` will open you
+up to this file as well.
