GitHub is enhancing its GitHub Sponsors program to create a sustainable future for the open-source ecosystem by expanding funding opportunities and regions, as well as partnering with Patreon to offer new benefits. Since the launch of organization-funded sponsorships in April 2023, participation has grown by 20%, with 4,200 organizations now involved. The partnership with Patreon aims to provide open-source developers with more funding avenues and community-building tools, allowing sponsors to link their GitHub and Patreon accounts for streamlined sponsorship processing and recognition. Additionally, GitHub Sponsors has expanded support to 35 new regions, now covering 103 regions worldwide, and has introduced features to simplify invoicing and sponsorship creation for enterprise customers. This expansion is part of GitHub's commitment to supporting the open-source community and facilitating easier access to sponsorships for developers globally.
