## About sponsorships
17+
18+
{% data reusables.sponsors.sponsorship-details %}
19+
20+
You can sponsor an account on behalf of your personal account to invest in projects that you personally benefit from. You can sponsor an account on behalf of your organization for many reasons.
21+
- Sustaining specific libraries that your organization's work depends on
22+
- Investing in the ecosystem you rely on as an organization (such as blockchain)
23+
- Developing brand awareness as an organization that values open source
24+
- Thanking open source developers for building libraries that complement the product your organization offers
25+
26+
We may share certain limited tax information with sponsored accounts. For more information, see "[Tax information](#tax-information)."
27+
28+
You can choose whether to display your sponsorship publicly. One-time sponsorships remain visible for one month.
29+
30+
If the sponsored account retires your tier, the tier will remain in place for you until you choose a different tier or cancel your subscription. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/billing/managing-billing-for-github-sponsors/upgrading-a-sponsorship)" and "[AUTOTITLE](/billing/managing-billing-for-github-sponsors/downgrading-a-sponsorship)."
31+
32+
If the account you want to sponsor does not have a profile on {% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %}, you can encourage the account to join. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/sponsors/receiving-sponsorships-through-github-sponsors/setting-up-github-sponsors-for-your-personal-account)" and "[AUTOTITLE](/sponsors/receiving-sponsorships-through-github-sponsors/setting-up-github-sponsors-for-your-organization)."
33+
34+
{% note %}
35+
36+
**Note:** {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} is not responsible for how developers represent themselves nor does {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} endorse any sponsored open source projects. The claims are solely the responsibility of the developer receiving the funds. Make sure you trust a person before offering a sponsorship. For more information, see the [{% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %} Additional Terms](/free-pro-team@latest/site-policy/github-terms/github-sponsors-additional-terms).
37+
38+
{% endnote %}
39+
40+
## About payment methods for sponsorships
41+
42+

43+

44+
- Through Patreon. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/sponsors/sponsoring-open-source-contributors/sponsoring-an-open-source-contributor-through-patreon)."
45+

49+
50+
{% endnote %}
51+
52+
Organizations can also pay for sponsorships by invoice. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/sponsors/sponsoring-open-source-contributors/paying-for-github-sponsors-by-invoice)."
53+
54+
{% ifversion enterprise-orgs-sponsors-with-cc %}
55+
56+
If your enterprise pays by credit card, you can allow your enterprise's organizations to sponsor open source contributors using the credit card. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/admin/policies/enforcing-policies-for-your-enterprise/enforcing-policies-for-github-sponsors-in-your-enterprise)."
57+

## Sponsorship fees
61+
62+
{% data reusables.sponsors.no-fees %}
63+
64+
For more information on fees and billing, see "[AUTOTITLE](/billing/managing-billing-for-github-sponsors/about-billing-for-github-sponsors)."
65+
66+
## Tax information
67+
68+
As a sponsor, you acknowledge that we may disclose to the owner of each account you sponsor the following limited information about your sponsorship payments to the account, since the inception of the Sponsors Program:
69+
70+
- Transaction date
71+
- Amount paid
72+
- The country, state, and province from where payment was made
73+
- Whether payment was made by a business or individual
74+
75+
