== '''Why Support OSM? ''' ==
OpenStreetMap is the world’s largest user-generated map. Although OSM is free to use, it is not free to produce. It depends on the volunteerism of thousands of people who volunteer as editors and sysadmins, in [[Working Groups]] and local communities, and on the [[Officers & Board|foundation board]], has hosting and hardware costs, and is administered by a small staff and one stability engineer. Companies can support the project in one or more of the following ways: '''Join, Donate, Sponsor.'''

The OpenStreetMap foundation oversees the administration of [https://www.openstreetmap.org/ openstreetmap.org] An OSM Corporate Membership directly supports the '''quality and stability of the project and its data'''. To help with OSMF fiscal planning, we encourage a three year membership commitment. [[Corporate Members|Here is a list]] of our current members.
