# Access management
The Material for MkDocs Insiders repository is a private repository hosted on
GitHub and access is, therefore, managed through GitHub. This section covers
everything you need to know in order to gain access to the private Material for
MkDocs Insiders repository.
## How to get access
As the private Material for MkDocs Insiders repository is hosted on GitHub, you
require a GitHub account to become a sponsor and to gain access. After
sponsoring us on one of our [sponsoring tiers] starting at [$15 a month],
you'll get access to the private Insiders repository.
Please note that the process of gaining access is only partially automatable due
to technical reasons. Depending on the type of account you've used to become a
sponsor, we might need more information from you before we can grant access.
[$15 a month]: https://github.com/sponsors/squidfunk/sponsorships?tier_id=210638
[sponsoring tiers]: sponsoring-tiers.md
### Individuals
If you sponsor using a [personal account], you will receive an invitation link
via email to the private Material for MkDocs Insiders repository immediately
after initiating your sponsorship. This link is [valid for seven days]. Once you
accept the invitation, you'll be ready to [get started].
If the link expired, please contact us at sponsors@squidfunk.com and we'll
send you a new one.
[personal account]: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts#personal-accounts
[valid for seven days]: #expired-invitations
[get started]: getting-started.md
### Organizations
When sponsoring using an [organization account], GitHub will not send an
automated invitation via email to access the private Material for MkDocs Insiders
repository. Due to [GitHub limitations], granting access to a private repository
for an entire organization is not possible.
Therefore, please contact us at sponsors@squidfunk.com with the name of a
[personal account] or the name of a [bot account] that is publicly or privately
listed as an owner of your GitHub organization after you received a confirmation
that your sponsorship was initiated.
We will add this designated account as a collaborator, and once the invitation
is [accepted within seven days], your organization will be all set to [get
started].
[organization account]: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts#organization-accounts
[GitHub limitations]: #collaborators
[bot account]: #bot-account
[accepted within seven days]: #expired-invitations
### Enterprises
If you would like to sponsor us using an [enterprise account], we recommend
using a [personal account] or a [bot account] to initiate the sponsorship and
access the private Material for MkDocs Insiders repository using this account.
[enterprise account]: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts#enterprise-accounts
## Restrictions
GitHub sets limitations beyond our control, which is why we require further
information regarding [collaborators] of private repositories and [matching] of
GitHub accounts.
[collaborators]: #collaborators
[matching]: #matching
### Collaborators
GitHub policy limits access to [private repositories] to [personal accounts]
only, which is why it is currently not possible for us to add [organization
accounts] to the Material for MkDocs Insiders repository a private
repository.
As much as we would love to give each member of your organization access, it's
simply not feasible for us to add each member account, which is why every
[sponsoring tier] is limited to one seat. However, you can use a [bot account]
to work around this limitation.
[private repositories]: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-access-to-your-personal-repositories/inviting-collaborators-to-a-personal-repository
[personal accounts]: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts#personal-accounts
[organization accounts]: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts#organization-accounts
[sponsoring tier]: sponsoring-tiers.md
[team management]: #team-management
### Matching
Due to privacy reasons, GitHub does not allow email addresses to be matched with
GitHub accounts. When requesting access via email at sponsors@squidfunk.com,
it's necessary to provide us with the name of a [personal account].
## Bot account
Given that only personal accounts can be listed as collaborators on
[private repositories], ensuring access for an entire organization requires
coordination through individuals. Changes within the team could lead to losing
access to the entire organization.
To avoid this, you have the option to create a bot account, which is
[a new personal account] that does not belong to a specific individual but is
publicly or privately listed as the owner of the GitHub organization
Using a bot account for access management and initiating your [public] or
[private] sponsorship through it also allows for better attribution of
sponsorship costs, allowing you to manage access and payment for all
sponsorships through a single account, and is thus recommended.
[a new personal account]: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/start-your-journey/creating-an-account-on-github
[public]: privacy.md/#public-sponsors
[private]: privacy.md/#private-sponsors
## Expired invitations
The invitation to the private Material for MkDocs is valid for seven days, a
limitation imposed by GitHub. If invitations are not accepted within this
period, you'll need to contact us via mail at sponsors@squidfunk.com, and we
will re-issue the invitation immediately.
## Team management
If you are using Material for MkDocs Insiders as an [individual] and don't
collaborate with other users, [forking] the private repository is not necessary.
However, when working with a team, it is not possible to simply share your
collaborator status with other accounts. Therefore, in order to work in a team,
the account with access to Insiders can [fork], [clone], or [mirror] the private
Material for MkDocs Insiders repository to an organization, providing a pathway
for team collaboration.
[fork]: #forking
[clone]: #cloning
[mirror]: #mirroring
[individual]: #individuals
### Outside collaborators
When working with outside collaborators, you should know that the Insiders
edition is compatible with the community edition. All new features and
configuration options are backward-compatible or implemented behind feature
flags. Most Insiders features enhance the overall experience, e.g., by creating
better social cards or instant previews. While these features add value for your
site's users, they are most certainly not necessary for previewing your site.
This means that outside collaborators can build the documentation locally with
the community edition, and when they push their changes, your CI pipeline will
build it with Insiders. When using [built-in plugins] exclusive to Insiders, we
recommend using the [group] plugin.
See the [getting started guide] for more information.
[getting started guide]: getting-started.md
[built-in plugins]: ../plugins/index.md
[group]: ../plugins/group.md
### Forking
[Forking] a repository creates a copy of the repository that allows for
independent development while maintaining a link to the original repository
for updates.
[forking]: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo
### Cloning
[Cloning] a repository copies the repository to your local machine or codespace,
facilitating offline work and content management. You can, of course, also
[clone a private fork].
[cloning]: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/cloning-a-repository
[clone a private fork]: https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/fork-a-repo#cloning-your-forked-repository
### Mirroring
[Mirroring] a repository creates an identical copy, ensuring you have the
flexibility to host and work with the repository [in other environments] besides
GitHub. This is a particularly useful strategy for organizations hosting their
repositories in a private environment outside of GitHub.
[mirroring]: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/duplicating-a-repository
[in other environments]: #github-alternatives
## GitHub alternatives
Material for MkDocs Insiders is designed to be compatible with various
repository hosting platforms, including GitLab. The key requirement is still a
GitHub account, as we use GitHub Sponsors for transactions and GitHub to manage access to the private Insiders repository.
Once you've become a sponsor and secured access to the private Insiders
repository via an individual GitHub account, you can [mirror the repository in
another location]. This mirroring process not only allows for easy integration
into your existing workflow but also ensures that your projects stay up-to-date
with the latest features and improvements of Insiders.
Our discussion board is a valuable resource for any questions about integrating
Material for MkDocs Insiders into your projects. It offers a space to connect
with others who may have similar requirements and setups, as well as to
exchange tips and explore solutions together.

features for general availability in the community edition, after sponsors have
used them for a while.

all queries which is why we need extra hands to keep up with the demand.
That's why we're building a team of Community Experts!
## Your role
As a Community Expert, your role primarily involves active participation on
our [discussion board], where we'd expect you to be:
- Answering discussions to help users with their questions
- Providing guidance regarding implementations
- Sharing insights into customizations and workarounds
- Optimizing searchability by adjusting discussion titles with relevant keywords
## Your benefits
Here is a list of the benefits we offer to our Community Experts:
- __Free access to Material for MkDocs Insiders__ Exclusive Access to all of
our Material for MkDocs Insiders features for _non-commercial use_.[^1]
- __Close communication with the team__ Stay connected with us through various
channels, including calls and internal project management tools.
- __GitHub profile boost__ Enhance your GitHub profile's visibility and
credibility as your activity increases, earning you valuable badges that can
enhance your credibility.
[^1]:
Access to Insiders is granted to your primary account, i.e., the account
with which you're contributing to the project. It cannot be transferred to
another account. Additionally, it cannot be used for commercial purposes.
## Your knowledge & skills
To be a successful Community Expert, your skills should include the following:
- __Material and MkDocs allrounder__ You have an understanding of Material
for MkDocs and the MkDocs ecosystem, including many of its extensions and
plugins.
- __Great communicator__ You enjoy helping others in a productive,
constructive and friendly manner and use inclusive and welcoming language.
- __Independent worker__ You are self-motivated, stay up-to-date with
project developments, regularly check the discussion board, and respond to
notifications in reasonable time.
[discussion board]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/discussions
[documentation]: https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/
[contribution guides]: ../contributing/index.md
## Your time commitment
We don't require a fixed number of hours each week; instead, we ask for a
minimum of __five answered discussions per month[^2]__, which amounts to
slightly more than one per week. Your active interaction within the community is
highly valued.
To do this effectively, it's best to regularly check the discussion board to see
where you can offer help. The time you invest may vary depending on the
complexity of the topics and questions.
Upon joining, you'll receive access to the Insiders' edition for as long as you
continue to assist us. Access will be renewed every three months, allowing you
the flexibility to continue your contributions or take a break as needed.
[^2]:
An answered discussion is a collaborative interaction where knowledge and
expertise are shared, resulting in resolutions or clarifications that benefit
the user and our entire community. In essence, it embodies the spirit of
cooperation and support within our community, highlighting the power of
collective wisdom and the willingness to assist and uplift one another.
## Ready to get started?
Since we have a limited number of seats for these roles[^3], we would like to
get to know you before you become one of our Community Experts. Here's how to
get started:
[^3]:
Please note that we're currently limiting the number of seats on the
Community Experts program to three. We will update this page when we'll
expand the team, which is when we'll be accepting new applications.
### Step 1: Get in touch
Send us an email introducing yourself, sharing a bit about your background, and
include a link to your GitHub profile. Additionally, provide links to three
previous discussions you've answered on the discussion board, where you've

# How to sponsor
Becoming a sponsor for Material for MkDocs is a straightforward process through
@squidfunk's [GitHub Sponsors profile]. By supporting
the project with a monthly contribution of __$15 a month__ or more, you can sponsor
either via an [individual] or [organizational] GitHub account.
[GitHub Sponsors profile]: https://github.com/sponsors/squidfunk
[individual]: access-management.md/#individuals
[organizational]: access-management.md/#organizations
## Walkthrough
Want to become a sponsor? We will guide you through the sponsoring process below
If you have additional questions, you can find detailed information about
[payment and billing], [access management], [runtime and cancellation],
[privacy], [license] and [support] on dedicated pages.
[payment and billing]: payment-and-billing.md
[access management]: access-management.md
[runtime and cancellation]: runtime-and-cancellation.md
[privacy]: privacy.md
[license]: license.md
[support]: ../support.md
### Sponsoring tier
First, it's a good idea to explore [our sponsoring tiers], as each sponsoring
tier is designed to accommodate different levels of sponsors and includes
dedicated benefits.
After reviewing the sponsoring tiers, it's time to choose one. Consider what you
want to achieve and keep your requirements in mind, e.g. the number of projects
you want to build or how many accounts you need. [Switching tiers] is possible
at any time.
Choosing a tier will take you to GitHub's sponsorship confirmation page.
[our sponsoring tiers]: sponsoring-tiers.md
[Switching tiers]: sponsoring-tiers.md/#switching-tiers
### Sponsorship summary
#### Payment and billing
Next, GitHub will ask you to provide your billing information, which is required
to process your sponsorship payment. On this page, the _Sponsorship summary_
section displays the (possibly prorated) amount due to initiate your sponsorship.
This amount is determined by your account's [billing cycle], which can be set to
a monthly or yearly interval.
[billing cycle]: https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-billing-and-payments-on-github/changing-the-duration-of-your-billing-cycle
Proceed to input your [payment information], specifically your credit card
details. Please make sure that the used credit card is valid and will remain
so for an extended period to help avoid any interruptions in your sponsorship.
[payment information]: payment-and-billing.md
#### Privacy
On this page, you can also set the visibility of your sponsorship. You have the
option to keep your [sponsorship private or to make it public], which includes
listing your name or organization on the list of [our sponsors] and, for
organizations, the opportunity for [logo placement].
[sponsorship private or to make it public]: privacy.md
[our sponsors]: our-sponsors.md
[logo placement]: our-sponsors.md/#premium-sponsors
#### News and updates
Note that we rarely send out emails, and when we do, it's usually to inform you
about significant updates or changes to the project, so it's best to keep this
option enabled. To stay updated on the latest developments, you can check out
our [changelog].
[changelog]: ../changelog/index.md
#### Tax information
If you're sponsoring as an organization, it's essential to provide your country,
region and VAT number, so we can correctly attribute your sponsorship. This is
due to the fact that VAT is handled differently for individuals than for
organizations.
#### Confirmation
Before finalizing your sponsorship, take a moment to review all the details of
your sponsorship, including the selected tier, billing information, and payment
details.
Then proceed to confirm your sponsorship by clicking the _Sponsor_ button.
### Access management
After completing the sponsorship process and your payment is successfully
processed, you will be all set to [gain access] to the private Material for
MkDocs Insiders repository.

everybody loses, as it will reduce the time of us maintainers we could otherwise
set aside to push this project forward.

commercial use and ask our sponsors to respect these requirements when
initiating a sponsorship. Additionally, we base our sponsoring tiers on the number
of sites you intend to build. Please upgrade your sponsorship accordingly to
support the projects growth and ensure its continued development.

Since we host our repositories on GitHub, including both the Material for MkDocs
community edition and the private Insiders edition, [GitHub Sponsors] is a
natural fit for handling all financial transactions, as well as for access
management to the Insiders repository.
Therefore, to become a sponsor of Material for MkDocs, a [GitHub account] is mandatory.
[GitHub Sponsors]: https://github.com/sponsors
[GitHub account]: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/start-your-journey/creating-an-account-on-github
## Payment
GitHub Sponsors currently only accepts payments via credit card, as they
[removed support for PayPal] at the beginning of 2023. When
entering your credit card details, ensure that the card remains [valid over an
extended period] to prevent any disruptions to your sponsorship.
[valid over an extended period]: runtime-and-cancellation.md#automatic-cancellation
[removed support for PayPal]: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-01-23-github-sponsors-will-stop-supporting-paypal/
## Invoices
GitHub Sponsors automatically issues and send a payment receipt via email after
each billing cycle. These receipts serve as confirmation of payment rather than
formal invoices. As all transactions are managed by [GitHub Sponsors], GitHub is
your primary point of contact for payment and billing matters, not us.
If you need an official invoice from us for your records, please get in touch
with us at sponsors@squidfunk.com before initiating your sponsorship.
## Refunds
Our team does not have insights or access to details related to sponsorship
transactions of our sponsors, as GitHub does not provide us with this
information. For questions regarding payment issues or for more detailed
information about your sponsorship, please get in touch with the [GitHub
support] team.
[GitHub support]: https://support.github.com/
## Discounts
Unfortunately, we can't offer discounts. To ensure that everyone in our
community can afford to become a sponsor, we keep the barrier low and set
prices as low as possible, starting at [\$15 a month][15] for
[non-commercial use] and at [\$125 a month][125] for [commercial use].

[non-commercial use]: sponsoring-tiers.md/#non-commercial-use
[commercial use]: sponsoring-tiers.md/#commercial-use
## Free access
Free access to the Insiders edition is only granted exclusively to our [Community
Experts] and to selected members of the MkDocs ecosystem. Our Community Experts
program is designed to recognize and reward users who significantly contribute
to the community by sharing their expertise on our [discussion board].
Our discussion board facilitates the exchange of insights on workarounds, setups,
and features and addresses queries from users at all levels of experience. All
communication is public and visible for the entire community, benefitting
everyone.
Community experts not only enrich our project but also enable our team to focus
on continuous improvement and the development of new features. Therefore, we are
happy to provide them with free access to the private Insiders repository and
encourage you to [join the team] as well!

## Billing cycle
The [billing cycle] is an account-level setting on GitHub and is set to monthly
or yearly. It can be changed at any time, so you might want to check the setting
before sponsoring and change it either to monthly or yearly according to your
own or your organization's preferences.
If, for whatever reason, you cannot change your billing cycle, a practical
solution is to create a dedicated [GitHub bot account] where you set the billing
cycle accordingly and use it specifically for your sponsorship contributions.
This is a strategy many of our organizational sponsors have successfully
implemented.
If you experience any difficulties or have further questions before sponsoring,
please don't hesitate to contact us at sponsors@squidfunk.com for additional
support.

# Privacy
Transparency is at the heart of our sponsorware model, which includes our
funding goals, the features we're working towards, and, importantly, the
acknowledgment of our sponsors. As a sponsor, you can support our project
either [publicly] or [privately], according to your preference.
[publicly]: #public-sponsors
[privately]: #private-sponsors
## Public sponsors
By default, GitHub lists all sponsorships publicly. To sponsor privately, you
must explicitly select this option. When sponsoring publicly, your GitHub
account will be listed as part of [our sponsors], @squidfunk's [sponsoring page],
and within the "sponsoring" section of your GitHub account.
[our sponsors]: our-sponsors.md
[sponsoring page]: https://github.com/sponsors/squidfunk?metadata_origin=docs
## Private sponsors
For those preferring discretion, [setting your sponsorship to private] during
the sponsorship initiation process ensures your sponsorship remains unlisted,
keeping your affiliation with Material for MkDocs confidential.
This setting can be adjusted at any time through your GitHub account's
sponsorship settings.
For companies concerned about being visible as sponsors of any project due to
their privacy restrictions, creating a [bot account] on GitHub that is solely
used for sponsoring is advised. This account, set to sponsor privately, won't be
linked to any individual within your organization and provides an extra layer of anonymity.

[bot account]: access-management.md/#bot-account
## Administrative requests
To focus on the development of our projects, we aim to reduce administrative
tasks as much as possible for our small team, utilizing GitHub Sponsors for
efficient sponsor management.
### Vendor agreements
Since GitHub Sponsors facilitates our sponsor transactions, they act as your
vendor. For vendor agreements or related queries, especially for organizations
with GitHub enterprise accounts, reaching out to [GitHub Support] is recommended.
[GitHub Support]: https://github.com/sponsors
### Non-disclosure agreements
Given our limited resources as a small team, we are unable to review and sign
NDAs. We advise those requiring such agreements to consult [our promise] for
reassurance. Additionally, please contact us if you have any questions at
sponsors@squidfunk.com
[our promise]: #our-promise
## Our promise
We recognize the importance of privacy for our organizational sponsors,
especially in the absence of formal agreements like [NDAs]. "Our Promise" is our
assurance of commitment to your confidentiality and discretion.
- __Confidential sponsorship:__ Your choice between public or private
sponsorship is respected to the fullest. For private sponsors, we guarantee your
relation with us remains confidential at all times, ensuring no public disclosure
of your sponsorship.
- __Logo usage and brand representation:__ Logo display and any form of public
acknowledgment are completely under your control and will only proceed with your
explicit consent. This ensures your brand is represented on your terms.
- __Marketing and communication:__ We commit not to use the details of your
sponsorship for marketing or promotional purposes without your approval.
Your sponsorship details are guarded with the highest level of confidentiality,
with no unauthorized use or disclosure.

# Runtime and cancellation
The sponsorship model for Material for MkDocs is facilitated through GitHub
Sponsors and, therefore, adheres to GitHub's policies. If you're curious about
the duration of your sponsorship and the cancellation process, you will find
everything you need to know below.
## Runtime
Sponsorships remain valid as long as monthly or yearly subscriptions are
active and only expire when you cancel the sponsorship or when your [payment
method expires].
[payment method expires]: #automatic-cancellation
## Cancellation process
Canceling your sponsorship initiates a cancellation request through GitHub,
which is scheduled to take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. This
means you'll retain access to Insiders until the cancellation officially becomes
effective.
All transactions are processed by GitHub and as we don't receive any information
regarding your payment, we can't provide details about when your cancellation
will be in place.
### How to cancel
To downgrade or cancel your sponsorship, please follow the [step-by-step guide
from GitHub]. If you have sponsored using an organizational account, ensure that
you cancel the sponsorship under that specific account, as the
[collaborator and sponsor accounts may differ].
[step-by-step guide from GitHub]: https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-sponsors/downgrading-a-sponsorship#canceling-a-sponsorship
[collaborator and sponsor accounts may differ]: access-management.md/#collaborators
### Effects of cancellation
Upon the effective date of your cancellation, GitHub will automatically remove
you as a collaborator from the private Material for MkDocs Insiders repository.
You will no longer receive updates. However, you are welcome to continue using
the latest version available to you at the time of cancellation for as long as
you like.
!!! warning "GitHub deletes private forks"
Please note that once you lose your collaborator status, [GitHub will
automatically delete your private fork] of the Insiders repository, so you
may want to take steps to ensure that you have a local backup.
[GitHub will automatically delete your private fork]: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-access-to-your-personal-repositories/removing-a-collaborator-from-a-personal-repository#deleting-forks-of-private-repositories
### Automatic cancellation
If your credit card expires, GitHub will automatically cancel your sponsorship
and remove you as a collaborator. Regularly checking your payment method is
recommended to avoid unintended cancellations. If it happens, you can
reinstate your sponsorship with a new credit card.

# Why sponsor us
Material for MkDocs is an Open Source project that is developed and maintained
by a small team of individuals who want to devote as much time as possible to
make it better every day. We need to rely on the financial support of
[our awesome sponsors], who buy us the time to work on it.
[become a monthly sponsor]: sponsoring-tier.md
[our awesome sponsors]: our-sponsors.md
[squidfunk's sponsor profile]: https://github.com/sponsors/squidfunk/
## Who we are
While [the project was started] by @squidfunk as a personal side project, the
[Sponsorware] model that the project adopted in 2020 allowed him to build a
small team of amazing individuals around him, [who are now helping him] to
maintain the project, as well as the growing list of sponsors.
[the project was started]: #how-it-started
[sponsorware]: #sponsorware
[who are now helping him]: #where-we-are-today
### How it started
In 2015, albeit 10 years in the industry, @squidfunk was still quite new to
Open Source. Having just finished his latest Open Source project, he realized
that the project was too complex to be explained in a plain README on GitHub.
He needed a good documentation tool for this project.
After evaluating static site generators in general and Hugo, Sphinx and MkDocs
in particular, he quickly decided that MkDocs seemed a good choice, as it was
specifically aimed at technical project documentation and easy to use.
Unfortunately, all of the available themes looked dated, and since @squidfunk
is a very visual person, he just couldn't convince himself to call it a day.
He needed to build a theme.
Months later, in February 2016, [the first version] of Material for MkDocs was
released. Over the next years, @squidfunk being the sole maintainer, countless
feature requests were implemented and bugs were fixed, allowing the project to
gain popularity and reach almost 3,000 stars on GitHub by the end of 2019. It
is still his most popular project to date.
As the project grew, @squidfunk started to implement feature requests that made
sense from a general perspective, but not for his personal use. This was the
point where the project started to shift from a personal project to a
community-driven one, and began to feel like a secondary job. Having a primary
job, many maintainers burn out when their side projects become successful, which
is why @squidfunk decided to give the [Sponsorware] model a try and make
Material for MkDocs his primary job. This turned out to be an incredible success.
[the first version]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/releases/tag/0.1.0
### Sponsorware
The Sponsorware model is simple as a sponsor, you get early access to the
latest and greatest features of Material for MkDocs as part of [Insiders] before
everyone else gets to enjoy them, as you are the one making them possible with
your financial contributions.
Every new feature that lands in [Insiders] is linked to a funding goal with a
specific amount. Once this amount is reached, all of the features that are part
of this funding goal are merged into the community edition, making them
available to everyone. It is that simple.
This brand-new and still experimental approach not only helps keep the project
vibrant and cutting-edge but also ensures it can continue to meet and exceed
your expectations.
[Insiders]: index.md
### Where we are today
Fast forward to today, Material for MkDocs is a thriving community-supported
and well-funded project, with over 500 sponsors and a small but growing team,
used by international companies and organizations. The project has outgrown
its original purpose by far, as it has become so much more than just a theme
a powerful documentation framework built on top of MkDocs.
Starting in 2020 with the advent of the [Sponsorware] model, the frequency of
releases has more than doubled, with a new release seeing the light of day on
average every 1-2 weeks. Moreover, our team responds to issues as fast as
possible, keeping the number of open issues low.
## Our pledge
We're working hard to make Material for MkDocs one of the best documentation
tools out there, ridiculously powerful, a pleasure to use and most importantly
free and Open Source. It is the financial contributions of our awesome sponsors,
that allow us to do our best work.
It's a simple equation: as long as this project is funded, we can continue to
improve it, fix bugs, and add new features. We will continue to provide the
best possible support to our users and make sure that Material for MkDocs
remains a tool that you love to use.
If you sponsor us, your contribution helps us to pay for:
1. __Taxes__: Since we provide a service to our sponsors, we're of course
legally obligated and happy to pay sales tax. This requirement applies to
all sponsorship contributions, aligning us with standard business practices,
as for the rest of the world.
2. __Sponsorships__: A significant portion of our funding is redirected to
upstream projects. This cultivates collaboration and supports the broader
Open Source ecosystem. We regard those projects and their maintainers as
essential for the persistence of Material for MkDocs.
3. __Team__: Our team is growing! With more funds available, we can pay more
individuals to help us make Material for MkDocs even better. Note that this
covers various aspects of the project, like the creation of new features,
bug resolution, support, and sponsor relations.
We are bootstrapped no investors to please! If you decide to support us, you
help us stay independent and free from outside influence. This means we can
focus on building a solution that you love to use and keep ownership of your
documentation project without vendor lock-in.
