Pull in sponsors across different services and correlate against your reward tiers
Bevry is an open-source community that is behind several popular open-source projects which get millions of downloads a month.
The primary way we have funded our open-source development has been:
Donations work off the intrinisic motivation of the donators ideology - socialism, altruisim, pay it forward, free culture, etc.
Sponsorships work off the extrinisic motivation of the sponsor to recoup their investment to ensure their business thrives - as altruistic spending is the end of a business.
Currently Bevry receives funds through several sources - Stripe, PayPal, Coinbase, Bank Transfer - as well as several services - Patreon, Open Collective, Gratipay.
Currently all the provided infrastructure only allows those to give funds to be treated as donators, who get nothing back, deincentivising large funding options through sponsorship - as all sponsorship rewards must be enacted manually, there is no automated service that rewards them.
This project aims to solve that by making it effortless to receive and reward sponsorship, incentivising and rewarding high-tier funding that covers development costs.
