The overriding message is that Drupal needs significantly more contribution for the project to remain competitive in the longer term and that new models to incentivize and recognize contribution are required to achieve this. From this idea, the Drupal Certified Partners Program was created.</p> <p>The Drupal project is driven by a large global network of developers, designers, and other contributors that are constantly innovating the Drupal project. The Drupal Certified Partner recognizes and awards agencies that demonstrate significant innovation, financial leadership and contribution to the Drupal project. These organizations are verified by the Drupal Association as Drupal Certified Partners on Drupal.org. </p> <p>As an open-source project the Drupal Certified Partner provides us with the necessary support to ensure security, accessibility and flexibility of the platform to meet enterprise level client innovation & scalability standards. Drupal Certified Partners are ambitious and have made Drupal a priority. Organizations are evaluated annually and awarded certification levels reflective of philanthropic and code contributions that they have made towards the project & the Drupal community. </p></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container quinary clearfix"> <div class="container-inner quinary-inner"> <div class="panel-pane pane-fieldable-panels-pane pane-vid-11974 pane-bundle-cta pane-fpid-1310" > <div class="pane-content"> <div class="fieldable-panels-pane pane-style-full mirror pane-style-white"> <div class="pane-style-full-inner pane-content-inner"> <div class="field field-name-field-cta-graphic field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img src="https://www.drupal.org/files/cta/graphic/Generic%20Drupal%20Certified%20Partner%20Badge_0.png" width="300" height="300" alt="Drupal Certified Partner badge" /></div></div></div> <div class="cta-text"> <h2>How to become a Drupal Certified Partner</h2> <div class="field field-name-field-cta-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>The Drupal Certified Partner program are organizations committed to the Drupal open-source project with a maker's mentality. Your engagement with this program is not meant to function solely as a marketing opportunity but instead as a values exchange rooted in your organization’s commitment to the community values of Drupal, to being a philanthropic supporter of the Drupal Association’s education and talent development programs, and to share the impact of innovating the Drupal project for a collaborative and inclusive global future as a public benefit. </p> <p>A common attribute of Drupal Certified Partners is that they contribute to deliver value for the Drupal project and to help the Drupal community. You will find yourself among a community of peers who love Drupal and are working globally to use Drupal to keep the web safe and open for everyone. </p> <p>To talk to someone email <a

class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><ul> <li><strong>My company has never contributed. Where do we start?</strong><br /> The DA publishes <a href="https://www.drupal.org/association/blog/a-drupal-contribution-guide-guest-post" rel="nofollow">how-to guides</a> for developers and other forms of contribution and mentors may be available to assist with getting started. <br /> </li> <li><strong>My client won’t approve a case study to be published publicly on Drupal.org. Will this affect my certification?</strong><br /> No. Case studies can be submitted for the express purpose of certification without being published on Drupal.org. The Drupal Association will still need to verify each case study with the client in question or some other means of verification.<br /> </li> <li><strong>Won’t the Certified Partner Program automatically favor bigger companies?</strong><br /> The goal of the program is to drive the overall volume of quality contribution, spreading this effort amongst a larger number of companies. Under this model, any company with a strong contribution policy will easily qualify for the program, with the volume of their contribution determining what tier they qualify for.<br /> </li> <li><strong>Can a small company achieve a high certification tier?</strong><br /> Yes. If they meet the contribution requirements and pay the tier’s donation amount, any size company can achieve a high tier. Of course, a bigger team will mean it’s easier to achieve a higher volume of contribution credits, and the tiers will ultimately reflect a company’s overall capability to take on large scale projects.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>Can’t companies just “game” contribution credits to achieve a certification tier?</strong><br /> Weighted contribution credits ensure that effort is directed to the aspects of Drupal that need the most work.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>How can I check if my company automatically qualifies as a Certified Partner?</strong><br /> You can check <a href="http://drupal.org/drupal-services" rel="nofollow">drupal.org/drupal-services</a> and see what your company’s current contribution volume is against the certification tiers listed in this FAQ. <br /> </li> <li><strong>Will my company lose contribution credits if specific staff members who originally accrued the credits leave to join a new company?</strong><br /> No. Credits are only assigned at the time that they’re originally attributed to a company.<br /> </li> <li><strong>How are New Business leads managed by the Drupal Association?</strong><br /> It’s anticipated that most leads will be organic based on certified partner listings for specific regions. E.g. Filter all certified partners in Germany. If the DA is contacted directly for partner recommendations, they can provide links to certified partner profiles that match the criteria requested. E.g. Location, team size, customer experience.<br /> </li> <li><strong>Does DrupalCon or other forms of community event sponsorship count towards contribution credits?</strong><br /> Not currently, but this may be applicable in the future.<br /> </li> <li><strong>What happens if a company pays a high donation but their contribution falls below the threshold for the tier they’ve paid?</strong><br /> At the time of annual program renewal, the DA may need to interview the company to establish if their contribution level can be maintained to meet their tier requirements if they’ve fallen below the base threshold.</li> </ul></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  </div>  <div id="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-drupalorg-crosssite-infra-partner" class="block block-drupalorg-crosssite"> <div class="block-inner"> <div class="content"> <a href="https://tag1consulting.com" >Infrastructure management for Drupal.org provided by <img src="/files/cta/graphic/tag1_wht.svg" alt="Tag1 logo" ></a> <br /> <span style="font-size: .65em;"><a href="https://d7es.tag1.com/">Need a Drupal 7 extended support partner?
