Help us keep the BEAM moving forward.
Sponsorship powers our working groups, security advisories, and the events the community runs on.
Sponsor the ecosystem your team builds on.
Annual sponsorship at any tier funds the working groups, security work, and grants that keep the BEAM ecosystem healthy. ERLEF can provide invoicing if your finance team requires it — just reach out.
Every contribution funds the same work.
One-time or recurring — individual contributions go into the same pool that funds every project on this page. The foundation is a 501(c)(3); contributions are tax-deductible where applicable.
A fair-share contribution.
We ask that you contribute the amounts below based on your company size and we encourage you to give more.

| Large | $24,000or more → |
| Medium | $5,000or more → |
| Small | $2,000or more → |
| Individual | Your impact → |
Beyond the core amounts above, we also recognize Strategic and Visionary impact levels for sponsors who give well beyond their size. We'd love to explore crediting your company at that level — reach out.
One pool. Shared impact.
Every sponsor — regardless of tier — funds the same work:
- Security Working Group programs (Aegis, CNA)
- Working Group activities across the foundation
- Conference ticket & travel grants
