Creative Commons (CC) has launched the Open Infrastructure Circle (OIC) to ensure our organization is around for years to come.
We are looking for institutions to commit to a recurring or multi-year gift to Creative Commons. We are also looking for individuals to commit to joining the OIC with an annual gift of 300ドル USD or more.
Your contributions will specifically support the technical and legal maintenance of our CC Licenses, which is vastly underfunded yet critical to everything we do.
We’re one of only a handful organizations fighting to preserve the global commons, which is constantly at risk.
We need regular supporters to keep our doors open. Check out who’s already joined the OIC below, and sign yourself up. Anyone can become a member, whether you’re a company, foundation, or an individual.
If you have questions or would like to make your gift via check or wire transfer, please reach out to us at development@creativecommons.org.

CC Licenses are a free and reliable public good. Yet most people are unaware that their infrastructure and stewardship require an immense amount of money and work to maintain. Thank you for considering joining the Open Infrastructure Circle, and contributing to the technical and legal infrastructure of the open web.
