Interested in becoming a sponsor? Check out our sponsor application.

Participation in the PSF Sponsorship Plan provides a way for corporations and individuals to contribute substantially to the ongoing support of the Foundation. (As distinct from one-time donations.)

In return, the PSF will officially acknowledge your donation via various methods appropriate to your sponsorship level, including your logo and link on the PSF sponsor page, and an official PSF Sponsor image to place on the sponsor's website.

The PSF would not be able to operate without the generous financial support of our corporate sponsors.

Sponsor Guidelines and Recommendations

The PSF is in a position to create positive change in the Python community and ask our sponsors to help us in this endeavor.

Here are some suggestions for our sponsor companies that demonstrate a willingness to help the Python community:

  • Offer to run a Python-related meetup periodically
  • Support a local meetup by providing a free venue, speakers or food and beverage
  • Sponsor PyCon and/or a regional Python conference or event
  • Support the PSF’s mission to help the language and support its communities by using OSS libraries written in Python.
  • Be a good FOSS (free and open source software) citizen
  • Develop a code of conduct that is distributed to all members of your team

Who can I talk to about supporting the PSF?
