## Donations
Donating plain money to curl is best done to curl's [Open Collective
fund](https://opencollective.com/curl). Open Collective is a US based
non-profit organization that holds on to funds for us. This fund is then used
for paying the curl security bug bounties, to reimburse project related
expenses etc.
Donations to the project can also come in form of server hosting, providing
services and paying for people to work on curl related code etc. Usually, such
donations are services paid for directly by the sponsors.
We grade sponsors in a few different levels and if they meet the criterias,
they can be mentioned on the Sponsors page on the curl web site.
## Commercial Support
The curl project does not do or offer commercial support. It only hosts
mailing lists, runs bug trackers etc to facilitate communication and work.
However, Daniel works for wolfSSL and we offer commercial curl support there.
