The Symfony Open Source project is supported by a company called Symfony SAS. This company sponsors the project by paying for contributions from Nicolas Grekas, Fabien Potencier and Javier Eguiluz. In order to make this sponsoring financially sustainable, the company relies on commercial services such as Symfony Insight, official Symfony conferences, as well as on donations.

Today, we're happy to introduce a new Symfony Sponsoring Program. You or your company can now sponsor different parts of the Symfony project:

  1. A full Symfony release (e.g. 5.4, 6.3, etc.) This provides the biggest impact and shows your logo, link and description in pages like Symfony documentation, "New in Symfony" blog posts, notification emails and GitHub README;
  2. A Symfony Component for a Symfony version (e.g. Console for Symfony 5.4, Messenger for Symfony 6.3, etc.) This promotion shows your logo, link and description in all pages which mention that component, including GitHub READMEs. Given the big number of components available, there are many sponsoring opportunities;
  3. A Week Of Symfony for a minor Symfony version (e.g. 5.4 or 6.3). This is one of the longest running post series in the software industry, published uninterruptedly since 2006. Ideal to make an impact on experienced Symfony developers;
  4. The Symfony Book for a major Symfony version (e.g. Symfony 5, Symfony 6, etc.) This shows your logo and description in the pages of the official Symfony book, including the PDF version. Ideal to make an impact on Symfony newcomers.

The First Sponsors

Soon after the introduction of this program we got the first sponsors. Thanks to all of them for their great support:
