+Corporate Sponsors
+==================
+
+**tl;dr**: Requests development is currently `funded by the Python community <https://www.kennethreitz.org/requests3>`_, and
+some wonderful organizations that utilize the software in their businesses.
+
+Requests is one of the most heavily–utilized Python packages in the world.
+
+It is used by major corporations worldwide for all tasks, both small and large — from writing one–off scripts to orchestrating millions of dollars of critical infrastructure.
+
+It's even embedded within pip, that tool that you use to install packages and deploy with every day!
+
+After losing our primary open source maintainer (who was sponsored by a company to work on Requests, and other projects, full–time), we are seeking community financial contributions towards the development of Requests 3.0.
+
+Patron Sponsors
+----------------
+
+We don't have any patrons yet — this slot is reserved for ethical organizations willing to invest $10,000 or more in Requests per year.
+
+By becoming a patron, your organization will receive the following benefits:
+
+- Priminent placement on the Requests documentation sidebar (~11,000 uniques / day).
+- Honorable mention here, with logo.
+- Peace of mind knowing that the infrastructure you rely on is being actively maintained.
+
+Organizations that sign up (if any decide to) will be listed in order — first come first serve!
+
+Major Contibutors
+-----------------
+
+Heroku
+//////
+
+Heroku has allowed Kenneth Reitz to work on open source projects for work,
+including Requests (but mostly Pipenv), from time–to–time, so they are listed
+here as an honorable mention.
+
+Slack — Bring your team together
+////////////////////////////////
+
+Slack has generously donated a large sum towards the `2018 Requests 3.0 fundraiser <https://www.kennethreitz.org/requests3>>`_,
+and is helping the world become a better place through connectiveness, and reducing the amount of email we all have
+to deal with on a daily basis.
