=== '''DONATE''' ===
These tiers were put into effect in Jan 1, 2017.
Many companies contribute financially to OpenStreetMap as part of their '''corporate social responsibility''' to support  '''free and open source software and data'''. The OSM community builds the world’s largest user-created map; provides job training and mentorship in GIS and related fields; offer unique community- and skills-building programs for women and historically underrepresented minorities; and respond to a wide range of humanitarian mapping needs. A gift to OSM is a high impact philanthropic investment with a global reach.

=== How to join'''SPONSOR''' ===
OSM’ers organize [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_of_the_Map '''State of the Map'''] (SotM) meet-ups as a way to build community and improve the map. These annual events bring  the community together to learn about '''new research, tools, community activities, and other mapmaking topics.''' Regional SotMs are organised exclusively by local teams, which run their own sponsorship programs and the global SotM is organized by the OSMF.
 
Sponsoring a few SotMs a year benefits your company in the following ways:
