Why should we become an Organization?

  • Legally support communities that don't have a legal entity

  • Transparency: you’ll always know what your contributions are being used for, in real time

  • Get an invoice/receipt for your donations, for easy accounting

  • One purchasing order or vendor management process for all your donations

  • Reporting: receive a monthly report that aggregates all your donations

How do I Sponsor a Community?

Before setting up a Sponsorship, we recommend you create an , so you can contribute under your company's name instead of your own.

Go to the Community's page and review their Sponsorship tiers. Choose one that suits the level of support you want to give or the reciprocal benefits you care about. Go through the contribution flow and pay using a credit card.

You can also give a flexible contribution by editing the options on the contribution screen, adjusting the amount and frequency.

How will my logo show up?

Sponsor logos show up on the Community's page, and are automatically pulled through our Widgets into many projects' READMEs and websites.

Sponsors are organized in order of the amount of contribution, with the highest at the top. If your one-time contribution is larger than a recurring sponsor's monthly amount, your logo will show at the top, but only for that month.

Can I cancel or change my contribution?

Yes, you can cancel a recurring contribution at any time. To do so, go to 'subscriptions' under your user menu, select the subscription, and, using the three dot menu in the corner, select 'change amount' or 'cancel'.

How do I reach a Community?

If you want to set up a sponsorship arrangement different to the pre-configured options, or have any other questions for the admins of a Community, you can usually contact them using the Contact button on the Community page.

Most Communities are happy to discus alternative arrangements and hear sponsor feedback and requests. We encourage sponsors to start conversations.

Which Communities should we Sponsor?

We offer tools to help you find Communities that are providing value for your company.

Can we pay via bank transfer or other means?

Can we make a bulk payment?

Yes. You can send us funds with a single transaction, and we'll allocate it to your Organization in the system. Then you can distribute it to the Communities of your choice.

Can we get an invoice in advance?

Who are we transacting with legally?
