Become a Corporate Sponsor

We provide this special sponsorship level that gives an organization wide-ranging and flexible terms of sponsorship.

  • We give you the ability to sponsor a certain number of events in the year (GUADEC, for example) to have your logo placed on event banners and publicity materials.
  • We make it possible to sponsor an issue of GNOME Journal and the Annual Report.
  • We can give you free passes to an event that would normally have an entrance fee.
  • Organizations also qualify for a lower sponsorship amount if there have been regular donations, membership of the advisory board has been long-standing, or certain numbers of engineers are sent to GNOME each year.

If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us: fundraising@gnome.org, or via the online form.
