Sponsorship

Sponsor the KERI Foundation

The KERI Foundation welcomes sponsors who want to help shape the future of secure, decentralized identity. While members contribute primarily time and expertise, sponsors provide financial support. Both are essential to building a trusted system!

Choose a way to contribute that fits you best:

  • General Sponsorship
    Support the Foundation’s core mission with flexible funding that powers research, infrastructure, and community growth.
  • Project-Based Funding
    Finance and execute your own KERI-related project, either solo or in collaboration with others. Always with guidance and oversight from the KERI Foundation to ensure alignment with our goals.

  • Sponsorship of the Open Source Codebase
    Fund development directly by sponsoring contributors to improve KERI.


Transparency, fairness, and long-term trust are at the core of every partnership. That’s why we clearly outline our sponsorship principles, to ensure shared expectations from the start.

  • No pay-to-play
    Financial support does not buy control, but it does come with visibility and influence.

  • Mission-first
    The Foundation stays neutral, inclusive, and independent, always putting the integrity of the system first.

  • Recognition, not return
    Sponsors are acknowledged for their impact, but financial returns or shares are never part of the deal.


We hope that supporting the KERI Foundation feels like the right step for you. Let’s build the future of open, secure identity infrastructure, together. 

Your support makes it possible. Ready to join the movement?
