Benefits of patronage

by Matt Lee Contributions — Published on Apr 05, 2010 03:56 PM

Organizations show their support for the community and the mission of the FSF by giving financial help. Many of our Patrons come to the FSF because their user community or employees ask them to recognize our work.

The Free Software Foundation recognizes and appreciates our patrons in a variety of ways:

FSF patron logo

FSF's patrons can display the FSF patron logo on their Web site and other materials.

Company name and logo on the FSF Patron list

If you wish, your company's name and logo will be listed on this site.

Recognition in the FSF's e-newsletter upon joining and/or renewal

If you wish, your company will be recognized in the Free Software Supporter, the FSF's electronic newsletter, after joining, and/or after every time it renews its support.

Subscription to the biannual bulletin and the monthly Free Software Supporter

Keep your organization informed about what's happening in the free software world via our biannual FSF Bulletin and monthly Free Software Supporter.

Five t-shirts

For your free software–loving hackers, any five shirts from our online shop.

Complimentary passes to the FSF's LibrePlanet conference

Each patron receives two complimentary passes to the FSF's annual LibrePlanet conference (and a reduced rate for additional tickets).
