Our Top Sponsors

Become a Validator Sponsor

We invite organizations and individuals that support Web standards to become validator Sponsors and earn recognition as a driving force behind valued community tools.

Sponsors receive acknowledgement for their support on the Validators' sites as well as this page, for a year. The terms of this sponsorship match those described in the Miscellaneous section of the W3C Supporters Program policy.

Please Contact Us about this opportunity.

Community Fundraising

Beyond donations, showing support for the validator as a fundraiser is a great way to encourage the use of Web Standards in your community.

To become a validator fundraiser, include a "donate" button in your page and let people know how they can support the service. We will be featuring fundraising communities on this page.

How Your Donations Help

For almost 14 years, the W3C has been developing and hosting Web Quality Tools used every day by millions of Web developers and Web designers. All these tools are free, Open-Source and provides the web with a fair, reliable help in building web content that works now and will work in the future.

Good tools cost a lot to develop, support, host and maintain: with your help, we can make the validators better, faster, friendlier, and maintain a great, free service for all of the Web.

Donations to this program will be used exclusively for the maintenance, hosting and development of our free validation tools and other similar open source projects.
