# Sponsorship
13+
14+
Open Science Labs (OSL) helps people learn, build, and contribute to impactful
15+
open-source projects for research, education, and social good.
16+
17+
We are building a welcoming community where contributors, mentors, researchers,
18+
students, educators, maintainers, and partner organizations can collaborate
19+
around open science and open-source software.
20+
21+
Sponsorship helps us sustain this work.
22+
23+
By becoming a sponsor, your organization supports mentorship, internships,
24+
open-source project development, community events, documentation,
25+
infrastructure, learning resources, and pathways for new contributors to gain
26+
practical experience in real projects.
27+
28+
## Why Sponsor OSL?
29+
30+
Sponsoring Open Science Labs is a way to support open science, open-source
31+
sustainability, research education, and global collaboration.
32+
33+
Your sponsorship can help us:
34+
35+
- support contributors, mentors, and maintainers;
36+

events;
40+

Sponsorship is also a meaningful way for organizations to show commitment to
48+
open source, education, research, social impact, and talent development.
49+

71+
72+

## Notes for Sponsors
238+
239+
- Sponsorship does not grant control over OSL governance, project decisions,
240+
technical roadmaps, community moderation, or research outcomes.
241+
- OSL may decline sponsorships that are not aligned with its mission, values, or
242+
community standards.
243+
- The fiscal, legal, and accounting treatment of sponsorships depends on the
244+
sponsor, jurisdiction, payment route, and applicable rules.
245+
- Sponsors should consult their own legal, accounting, and tax advisors when
246+
needed.
