## Gold Sponsors
13
+
Diamond Sponsors are those who have pledged $2,000/month and more to Material-UI.
#### Why is Material-UI a "crowd-funded open-source project"?
69
+
70
+
The core of Material-UI is open-source to give users great freedom in how they use the software, and to enable the community to have influence over how the project progresses to make it appropriate for a wide range of use-cases. To make Material-UI a project that users can rely on for years to come, it needs to be well directed and financially sustainable.
71
+
72
+
The absolute best way to support Material-UI’s ongoing development efforts is to become a sponsor. Crowd-sourced funding enables us to spend the most time directly working on improving Material-UI core, which you and other Material-UI users then benefit from.
73
+
74
+
#### How is sponsorship money spent?
75
+
76
+
Sponsorship money is used to fund software development, testing, documentation, and releases of the Material-UI software suite.
77
+
78
+
#### Is sponsorship required to use Material-UI?
79
+
80
+
Users are not legally required to give back to the Material-UI project, but it is in their interest to do so.
81
+
82
+
By significantly reducing the amount of work needed to achieve business goals and reducing running costs, Material-UI results in huge time and money savings for users. We encourage organizations to contribute a portion of these savings back, enabling the project to advance more rapidly and result in even greater savings for your organization.
83
+
84
+
#### What's the difference between Patreon and OpenCollective?
85
+
86
+
Funds received via Patreon or other forms, directly support [Olivier Tassinari](https://github.com/oliviertassinari) and the core team mission.
87
+
The funds go to a for-profit entity that employs some of the core team members.
88
+
89
+
Funds donated via OpenCollective are managed transparently and aimed to sustain the MIT core of Material-UI. Material-UI benefits from the Open Collective's fiscal sponsorship (hosted as a non-profit), in exchange for 10% of the donations.

## Services
92
+
93
+
These great services sponsor Material-UI's core infrastructure:
If you run a business and are using Material-UI in a revenue-generating product, it makes business sense to sponsor Material-UI development: **it ensures the project that your product relies on stays healthy and actively maintained**.

It can also help your exposure in the Material-UI community and makes it easier to attract Material-UI developers.
