+# Sponsorship
+
+The Node.js project needs a variety of sponsors in order to make the delivery
+of Node.js possible. Sponsors support the project through people time,
+infrastructure and  monetary donations. 
+
+## Sponsor Recognition
+
+The project aims to recognize sponsors who help keep the `lights on` by
+contributing in ways that support
+
+* Releases 
+* CI stability
+* Security
+* Infrastructure
+
+In addition the project aims to recognize sponsors who make significant
+individual or organizational monetary donations which are not directed
+towards a specific purpose.
+The project has enabled crowd funding platforms and can also receive
+funds through directed contributions to the OpenJS foundation and from
+OpenJS programs like the [Ecosystem Sustainability Program][].
+
+Sponsors who have made a contribution of 5000 USD or more will be
+included in a rotating set of sponsors on the main Nodejs.org landing
+page with a visibility in proportion to the level of
+contribution that they have made.
+
+All sponsorships are considered as being a calendar year sponsorship
+with the calendar year starting on the date the donation was made.
+
+## Releases
+
+Organizations or individuals who commit to do at least 4 releases per
+year are included in the `Releasers` section of the sponsor page on the
+Node.js website.  
+
+All of the logos shown in the `Releasers` section will be of the same
+general size.
+
+If you are a releaser or an organization who employs a releaser
+See the [Releasers sponsor agreement](releasers_sponsor_agreement.md)
+for how to be included in the releasers supporters. 
+
+## CI stability
+
+The project documented the need for a stability lead as part of
+enabling crowd funding accounts. Organizations or individuals
+that become supporters of 10,000 USD or higher towards the 60,000 USD
+goal will be included in the `CI Stability Lead` section of the
+sponsors page.
+
+Logos shown in the `CI Stability lead` section will be in proportion
+to the percentage of the taget sponsored. For example, if a single
+sponsor provides 60,000 US their logo will be the only one in that section.
+
+If you have sponsored the CI stability lead either through 
+the project's crowd funding accounts or through directed donation
+through the OpenJS foundation see the [CI stability lead sponsor agreement]()
+for how to be included in the CI stability lead sponsors.
+
+## Security Lead
+
+The project documented the need for a security lead as part of
+enabling crowd funding accounts. Organizations or individuals
+that become supporters of 20,000 US or higher towards the 300,000 US
+goal will be included in the `Security Lead` section of the
+sponsors page.
+
+Logos shown in the `Security lead` section will be in proportion
+to the percentage of the taget sponsored. For example, if a single
+sponsor provides 300,000 US their logo will be the only one in that section.
+
+If you have sponsored the `Security lead` either through 
+the project's crowd funding accounts or through directed donation
+through the OpenJS foundation see the [Security lead sponsor agreement]()
+for how to be included in the Security lead sponsors.
+
+## Security Triage
+
+Organizations or individuals who have contributors to the project with the
+required trust and commit to cover least one slot in the
+security triage rotation are included in the `Security Triage` section of
+the sponsor page on the Node.js website. Each slot is 2 weeks long and
+a security triager's slot comes up every 2N weeks where N is the total
+nubmer of committed triagers.  
+
+All of the logos shown in the `Security Triage` section will be of the same
+general size.
+
+If you are a triager or an organization who employs a triager

+# Supporters
+
+The work of the Node.js project is driven forward by volunteers. Our preferred form of support
+from an organization is sending your people to contribute on a regular and consistent manner.
+
+However, there is some supporting work within the project that is not the best fit for volunteers.
+For example, when vulnerabilities come with a disclosure deadline there is no guarrantee that
+a volunteers will have time to get the vulnerabilty fixed and out in a security release out in time.
+
+In addition, the project needs non-people resources to continue operating. For example machines for
+the CI infrastructure. While the OpenJS Foundation covers some resources which are needed by the
+project it cannot cover all of them.
+
+For cases were volunteers are not a great fit and for non-people resources we are grateful to the
+sponsors listed on their page for their support. 
+
+## Releasers
+Regular and timely releases are a key goal for the projectsc. Organizations and individuals that support
+the project by committing to do at least 4 releases per year include:
+
+![LOGOS](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/53f3fd31-160a-4307-8144-de30c9f963cf)
+
+## CI stability lead
+
+The project has been having ongoing issues with flaky tests and this has been a major pain point.
+The project, therefore, has a goal to hire a short term ci stability lead who can improve
+ci stability and implement tooling and processes that will provide longer term benefits. The following
+sponsors have made this possible:
