Gold Sponsorship positions your company as a core supporter of open source journalism and community reporting. For organizations ready to make a visible difference, the Gold Tier provides robust benefits and recognition—while helping sustain the trustworthy journalism FOSS Force is known for.
Gold Sponsors enable us to deliver essential industry news and community stories, all while safeguarding our editorial independence—a tradition that’s defined us for over 15 years.
Gold Sponsors receive:
- Prominent Advertising — Banner ads (336×280 px and 160×600 px) displayed on at least 50% of site page loads for ongoing visibility.
- Quarterly Thought Leadership — One guest-written article per quarter, subject to editorial review, focused on community impact rather than direct promotion.
- Priority Coverage — We prioritize coverage of your company’s key announcements and releases, always with fair, independent reporting.
- Community Recognition — Your organization will be acknowledged as a Gold Sponsor on our website, in newsletters, and across our social channels—earning appreciation from the FOSS community.
Gold Sponsorship is offered at $500/month. Early supporters locking in their membership before October 31, 2025 using the special Founder’s Rate annual rate, will continue to pay that rate — which comes to $350/month — for as long as there’s no break in membership.
Supporting at this level ensures that open source journalism remains strong, ethical, and independent for everyone.
If you are interested in becoming a Gold sponsor, we’d love to talk with you to explore how your sponsorship can work to our mutual advantage. Every organization is unique, and we’re committed to shaping a partnership that amplifies your goals while supporting independent, open source journalism.
