+# Companies and Open Source
+
+All modern digital infrastructure is dependent on open source software.
+Companies must think strategically about how they will engage with the
+open source projects on which they rely in order to ensure
+sustainability, and influence the direction of these projects for the
+benefit of their customers.
+
+## [Benefits to Companies](/companies/benefits.html)
+
+Active participation in open source projects provides significant strategic
and operational benefits to companies, from talent acquisition to technology
innovation and market positioning.
+
+
+## Ways to contribute
+
+There are three primary ways that companies can engage with ASF
+projects. Each has costs and benefits that should be carefully
+considered.

### [Employ Contributors](/companies/employ.html)
[](/companies/employ.html)
The impactful way companies support open source is by employing developers
and other professionals who contribute to projects. This includes not just code
contributions, but documentation, community management, testing, design, and
advocacy work.
</div><!-- End Support -->
### [Support individual contributors](/companies/support.html)
[](/companies/support.html)
Another impactful way companies support open source is by financially
supporting individual maintainers who maintain the projects. Maintainership
often means a lot of work that is not easily classified as "new features" or
"bug fixes" - there is a lot of thankless but necessary work needed in
successful projects that maintainers do - making releases in a smooth and
predictable way, continuous update of dependencies, reacting to security
vulnerabilities, mentoring and "recruiting" new contributors, spreading the
word about the project, triaging issues, reviewing PRs, improving documentation
and a lot more.
Supporting people financially (via B2B contracts, Individual Sponsorships,
Fellowships) makes it possible for the Open Source community to keep their
projects healthy and proactively addresss issues before they even happen. Think
of regular checkups at the doctor being far more effective than going to the
doctor when you start experiencing problems.
