W3C operations are primarily financed through Membership dues (see also information about W3C Membership). Through the W3C Supporters Program, Members and non-Members alike make general contributions, both financial and of goods such as software and hardware, to help support W3C's operations. Though W3C appreciates the support of these contributors, this should not be considered an endorsement of any products, services, or other materials they may provide.
More about the Supporters program can be found below, including frequently asked questions (FAQ). A version of this page with more Supporter details is available.
