## Why: the goal or problem

Useful public work costs time and money, yet you want it to remain open. Supporters may fund its continuation.

## How: work toward a solution

A fictional reading service keeps articles open. A supporter contributes 12 toward maintenance and receives acknowledgment, not exclusive access. GitHub Sponsors illustrates one-time and recurring support; its conditions are provider-specific. This is a fictional amount; taxes, fees and refunds are omitted.

## What: the concept

Sponsorship funds a creator or project, sometimes with agreed benefits. It can overlap advertising, but support does not inherently buy a placement or charitable status.

Define benefits clearly and combine support with other revenue sources without promising predictable income.
