| # curl sponsors | |
| A sponsor is someone who donates money or resources to the curl project for no | |
| specific service in return. | |
| curl accepts donations via [GitHub sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/curl) | |
| and [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/curl). | |
| An even better way to contribute to the project might be to pay an engineer or | |
| two to spend work hours on curl related tasks. | |
| We promise to use donated funds for things and activities that we believe are | |
| beneficial for the project and its development. That includes but is not | |
| limited to bug-bounties, developer conferences, infrastructure, development, | |
| services and hardware. | |
| Recurring donations above a certain amount of money puts the sponsor at a | |
| named sponsor level: **Silver**, **Gold**, **Platinum** or **Top**. | |
| Sponsors on a named level can provide their logo image and preferred URL and | |
| get recognition on the curl website's [sponsor | |
| page](https://curl.se/sponsors.html). | |
| - **Silver Sponsor** at least 100 USD/month | |
| - **Gold Sponsor** at least 500 USD/month | |
| - **Platinum Sponsor** at least 1000 USD/month | |
| - **Top Sponsor** outstanding extra valuable help | |
| ## Sponsor requirements | |
| A named level sponsor is entitled a logo and link on the curl website assuming | |
| the company, brand and link are not deemed unsuitable. The curl team reserves | |
| the right to make that decision at its own discretion. | |
| Sponsors may be denied a website presence for example if involved with drugs, | |
| gambling, pornography, social media manipulation etc. | |
| ## Past Sponsors | |
| Sponsors that stop paying are considered *Past Sponsors* and are not displayed | |
| on the sponsor page anymore. We thank you for your contributions. | |
