 === Sponsorship Benefits ===
-One strength of OSGeo is its ability to operate in an arm's length manner from any organization and, therefore, from any individual sponsor.  Every sponsor is an important part of OSGeo, no matter what funding level they commit to.  For this reason the benefits offered to sponsors cannot compromise impartiality and help keep OSGeo free from any one influence.  This is critical to the success of all organizations that partner with OSGeo.

 In recognition of the various levels of sponsor contributions, each sponsor receives particular benefits.  The benefits are outlined below and are cumulative as the amounts increase (higher levels include lower level benefits as well).
