<p>The {{ site.name }} website and services are a community project. There is no advertising, affiliate links, or other forms of monetization.<br><strong>Your donations here directly support hosting this website and compensating contributors to this project.</strong></p>
<p>This sponsorship program is designed to allow companies, organizations, and individuals partner with the {{ site.name }} team to support our vision of a more privacy-respecting internet and the greater online community.</p>
<p>With this exposure and sponsorship, your customers will recognize your intrinsic understanding and commitment to user privacy. Moreover, you'll directly contribute to our mission of spreading privacy-respecting tools and knowledge worldwide!</p>
<li><strong>Privacy</strong>, of course. Privacy gives you as a user control over how your information is used and spread online. Trustworthy and secure products and services are the key to that future.</li>
<li><strong>Security</strong>. We believe services cannot provide privacy at all without being secure. Strong encryption is the only way to prevent malicious actors from snooping in on our communications.</li>
<li><strong>Freedom</strong>. The right to express your opinion online without interference or surveillance is the only way we can grow as a society, and privacy-respecting tools should foster that growth.</li>
</ul>
