CodeFund Sponsorships FAQ

What is CodeFund Sponsorships?

CodeFund Sponsorships is a way to provide funding to open source projects and maintainers. One of the big misconceptions around open source funding is that funding should come from within the community (such as Patreon, Open Collective, and even GitHub Sponsors).

We takes a different approach to the problem. We provide direct sponsorships to GitHub projects and maintainers from companies that wish to share their products and services to the developer ecosystem. The sponsor will be able to track the results of those sponsorships similar to how they do with other marketing efforts. The sponsor will not only fulfill their altruistic desires to support those projects they love, but will also see a return on this investment similar to that found in advertising. This formula encourages more spending which is good for the community.

How does the matchmaking work? Is the list price fixed or can the sponsor negotiate or bid (either up or down)?

CodeFund can provide ethical advertising without having to use JavaScript.

The flow looks like this:

Ping the API for an available ad. The request should contain the browser width and height. For example:

curl 'https://codefund.io/t/s/[YOUR_PROPERTY_ID]/details.json?ip=[IPV4]&width=1750&height=825'

The API will respond with the ad details:

	Inch by inch they pressed forward. Above, they could see the sunlight shining over the summit. “We’re close,” he thought. “We’ve already lost one to the climb. Can’t think about that now.”

	A faint path was carved through the rocky slopes. “Others have made it” he remembers. “We can do this.”

	Every instinct in his body told him otherwise. There is solace below. A warm fire. Food and shelter. Is it worth the struggle?

	“YES!” He cried aloud.

	Minutes turned to hours as they neared the summit. An unexpected breeze touched their faces. “We’re close now”.
