## Why Sponsor?
While Starlette and Uvicorn are part of the [Encode](https://github.com/encode) organization,
they have been primarily maintained by [**Marcelo Trylesinski (Kludex)**](https://github.com/Kludex)
for the past several years. His dedication and consistent work have been instrumental in keeping
these projects robust, secure, and up-to-date.
This sponsorship page was created to give the community an opportunity to support Marcelo's continued
efforts in maintaining and improving both projects. Your sponsorship directly enables him to
dedicate more time and resources to maintaining and improving these essential tools:
- [x] **Active Development:** Developing new features, enhancing existing ones, and
keeping both projects aligned with the latest developments in the Python and ASGI ecosystems. 💻
- [x] **Community Support:** Providing better support, addressing user issues,
and cultivating a welcoming environment for contributors. 🤝
- [x] **Long-Term Stability:** Ensuring the long-term viability of both projects through strategic
planning and addressing technical debt. 🌳
- [x] **Bug Fixes & Maintenance:** Providing prompt attention to bug reports and
general maintenance to keep the projects reliable. 🔨
- [x] **Security:** Ensuring robust security practices, conducting regular security audits, and
promptly addressing vulnerabilities to protect millions of production deployments. 🔒
- [x] **Documentation:** Creating comprehensive guides, tutorials, and examples to help users of all skill levels. 📖
## How Sponsorship Works
We currently manage sponsorships *exclusively* through **GitHub Sponsors**. This platform integrates seamlessly with the GitHub ecosystem, making it easy for organizations to contribute.

## Community & Future Plans 🌟
We want to express our deepest gratitude to all the contributors who have helped shape Starlette and
Uvicorn over the years. These projects wouldn't be what they are today without the incredible work of
every single contributor.
Special thanks to some of our most impactful contributors:
- **Tom Christie** ([@tomchristie](https://github.com/tomchristie)) - The original creator of Starlette and Uvicorn.
- **Adrian Garcia Badaracco** ([@adriangb](https://github.com/adriangb)) - Major contributor to Starlette.
- **Thomas Grainger** ([@graingert](https://github.com/graingert)) - Major contributor to AnyIO, and significant contributions to Starlette and Uvicorn.
- **Alex Grönholm** ([@agronholm](https://github.com/agronholm)) - Creator of AnyIO.
- **Florimond Manca** ([@florimondmanca](https://github.com/florimondmanca)) - Important contributions to Starlette and Uvicorn.
If you want your name removed from the list above, or if I forgot a significant contributor, please let me know.
You can view all contributors on GitHub:
[Starlette Contributors](https://github.com/Kludex/starlette/graphs/contributors) / [Uvicorn Contributors](https://github.com/Kludex/uvicorn/graphs/contributors).
While the current sponsorship program directly supports Marcelo's maintenance work, we are exploring ways
to distribute funding to other key contributors in the future. This initiative is still in early planning
stages, as we want to ensure a fair and sustainable model that recognizes the valuable contributions of
our community members.
