Archive:Benefactor Sponsorships

Wikimedia Foundation partners with individuals, foundations, and corporations to support its events. Wikimedia Foundation events are unique opportunities for our sponsors to connect with leaders in technology, philanthropy, government, and open source -- including our staff, board, and our founder, Jimmy Wales.

There are many benefits to sponsoring an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation event. These include:

• The Wikimedia projects are highly reputed and have global visibility; partnering with Wikimedia allows you to share in the enormous brand value of Wikipedia.
• We collaborate with the greatest organizations. Our previous sponsors understand and appreciate the value that Wikimania brings, and you will, too, when you partner with us.
• Access to Wikimedia events brings great exposure and an outstanding brand association. But it also brings the world's top open culture thought leaders and the best open source developers right to you. Who would you like to meet?
