href="https://www.w3.org/mission/accessibility/">accessibility</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/mission/internationalization/">internationalization</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/mission/privacy/">privacy</a> and <a href="https://www.w3.org/mission/security/">security</a> which guide our technical work and community engagement.</p><p>The contributions from generous supporters, both individuals and organizations, who share our values, make a huge difference to our operations as a public-interest non-profit, and help us to achieve our <a href="https://www.w3.org/mission/">vision</a>. Your support allows W3C to accelerate delivering open web standards for the benefit of humanity by dedicating more resources to expand our core work.</p><p>W3C community engagement opportunities at a global, regional and local level bring sponsors into direct contact with leading Web technology experts from industry, research, government, and the developer community, to help your organization expand its outreach and be recognized in the community. Visibility for your brand will be tailored on marketing applications such as signage, conference and workshops merchandise, etc., as well as being recognized for specific deliverables.</p><p>W3C recognizes that giving takes many forms. We welcome inquiries to discuss how our work aligns with the aspirations and objectives described in the giving portfolios of individuals and family offices, philanthropic organizations and foundations, corporate social responsibility programs, government programs and others. W3C welcomes financial contributions of any size to help us carry out these activities. </p><p>We invite interested sponsors to discuss with our Team how to customize their support and outline specific elements they may be interested to support. Concrete examples include acknowledgement for sponsorship at W3C’s annual conference <a href="https://www.w3.org/news-events/w3c-tpac/">TPAC</a> and W3C <a href="https://www.w3.org/categories/workshop/">workshops</a> (such as food and beverages, Internet connectivity, interpretation, captioning, sign language, merchandise such as t-shirts, bags, etc.) or support for the development of specific publications, tools, training materials, among other possibilities.</p><p>We have two main sponsorship opportunities available, and under each one four tiers based on different amounts for members and non-members. You can choose the one that better suits your interests, aspirations and alignment with our work.</p> </div> <div class="component component--text"> <h2 id="web-for-all-w3c-principles-champions">Web for All - W3C Principles Champions</h2><p>You can have an impact on people's daily lives by ensuring the Web is available to people with disabilities, to those with literacy barriers, and to anyone whatever their native tongue. Show your leadership in social responsibility by supporting W3C current programs and proposed initiatives. With your support, W3C can continue to work so that the Web is available to all.</p><h3>Internationalization</h3><p><a href="https://www.w3.org/mission/internationalization/">W3C Internationalization</a> activity ensures that W3C's formats and protocols are usable worldwide in all languages and in all writing systems. That requires collaboration of language experts, web site designers, developers, and vendors to ensure a rapid response to the growth of the Web. W3C is actively seeking like-minded sponsors to strengthen the internationalization support and increase resources dedicated to this work.</p><h3>Accessibility</h3><p>The <a href="https://www.w3.org/mission/accessibility/">Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)</a> ensures that W3C technologies support accessibility; develops accessibility standards and guidelines for web content, browsers, multimedia players, authoring tools, and dynamic web content; develops resources for evaluation and repair of Web sites, as well as for education and outreach. It enables partnering of industry, disability communities, accessibility research, government, and others interested in improving accessibility of the Web. W3C is actively seeking like-minded sponsors to strengthen WAI and increase resources dedicated to this work.</p><h3>Privacy</h3><p>W3C’s work on <a href="https://www.w3.org/mission/privacy/">privacy</a> shapes the privacy-preserving Web by developing privacy standards, reviews the privacy of web standards and guides Web developers to design and develop in a way that incorporates privacy by design. W3C is actively seeking like-minded sponsors to strengthen our privacy work and increase resources dedicated to this work.</p><h3>Security</h3><p>W3C’s work on <a href="https://www.w3.org/mission/security/">security</a> has been instrumental in improving Web security through the development of authentication technologies that can replace weak passwords and help mitigate threats from phishing and similar attacks. W3C is actively seeking like-minded sponsors to strengthen our security work and increase resources dedicated to this work.</p><h3>Distribution of funds</h3><p>An indicative distribution of the sponsorship funds is outlined below.
