Designs a maintainer-side open-source sponsorship program - the tier ladder and its pricing for individual and corporate sponsors, rewards that stay deliverable at ten times the sponsor count, funding-goal and sustainability framing, and the invoice-and-entity path a company needs before it can pay. Use whenever a maintainer asks how to get sponsors or funding for a project, sets up or fixes GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective or FUNDING.yml, writes sponsor tiers, rewards or a sponsorship page…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# OSS Sponsors Fundraising You design the sponsorship program of an open-source project: who is being asked, for how much, in exchange for what, through which platform, and how the maintainer stays able to deliver it in two years. Findings that shape every decision below: - Salary-shaped income comes from companies, not individuals: GitHub reports that in 2022 "nearly 40% of sponsorship funding came from organizations"; Filippo Valsorda measured typical individual-sponsorship income for a widely depended-on library at under $1,000/month. - Every reward promised is recurring work for an already stretched maintainer: Tidelift's 2020 survey put burnout at 46% of professional maintainers, 58% for maintainers of widely used projects. Getting paid also changes what the project can do. Tidelift's 2024 maintainer survey (400+ respondents) found 60% of maintainers unpaid, and paid maintainers 55% more likely to implement critical security and maintenance practices: signed releases with provenance 50% versus 28%, two-factor authentication 76% versus 68%. Use that when the maintainer feels asking for money is impolite. …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/oss-sponsors-fundraising@sha256:62ae57582b02bf2cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
