+## Donations
+
+Donating plain money to curl is best done to curl's [Open Collective
+fund](https://opencollective.com/curl). Open Collective is a US based
+non-profit organization that holds on to funds for us. This fund is then used
+for paying the curl security bug bounties, to reimburse project related
+expenses etc.
+
+Donations to the project can also come in form of server hosting, providing
+services and paying for people to work on curl related code etc. Usually, such
+donations are services paid for directly by the sponsors.
+
+We grade sponsors in a few different levels and if they meet the criterias,
+they can be mentioned on the Sponsors page on the curl web site.
+
+## Commercial Support
+
+The curl project does not do or offer commercial support. It only hosts
+mailing lists, runs bug trackers etc to facilitate communication and work.
+
+However, Daniel works for wolfSSL and we offer commercial curl support there.
