How to Sponsor Plone

Plone is 100% powered and funded by the Plone community. We are among the largest, most successful, and most vibrant open source projects in the world. Yet, our primary source of income is sponsorships from forward-thinking organizations and individuals like you. See all our sponsors. You, too, could be listed among them!

How Your Sponsorship Supports Plone

The mission of the Plone Foundation is to protect and promote Plone. Since 2004, the Foundation has operated on an initial startup grant from Computer Associates, supplemented by a modest stream of individual contributions and larger organizational sponsorships. Foundation expenses have been related primarily to: ●an ambitious support program for organizing and attending strategic sprints, conferences and marketing events ●paying the Plone release managers a stipend to participate in code sprints and conferences, and for software releases ●registration of Plone’s trademark in countries around the world ●legal work to secure Plone’s intellectual property in the Foundation’s “software conservancy.” ●the development and production of marketing materials ●provisioning servers for our websites, community forum, and testing and continuous integration processes ●a stipend to support the Plone marketing and communications team lead's attendance at Plone Conference and related events ●general administrative expenses and software licenses for the essential operations of the Plone Foundation's activities In order to continue this work, the Plone Foundation relies on your sponsorship to create and sustain a reliable stream of income that grows along with the community. Please email sponsor@plone.org with any questions you may have or book a meeting with us.

Benefits and Rates

Because the Plone Foundation is a US non-profit entity, all amounts below are in US dollars (USD). These new sponsorship levels were approved by the Foundation Board in November 2025, and will come into effect in January 2026. All companies and individuals that are already sponsored previously to the approval of the new program will be shown at their previous sponsorship level until their renewal date. These sponsors commit for a full calendar year, giving the Plone Foundation Board a clear view of revenue when planning the budget for the upcoming year.
