Thank you for your interest in sponsoring WordPress Accessibility Meetup! Our sponsors help us to ensure that our meetups are as accessible as possible by providing financial support for live captions, American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation, and transcription services. In return, we do our best to promote your business before, during, and after events.

Pricing
Our aim in offering meetup sponsorships is to cover the costs associated with running the meetup and ensure that it is accessible for our attendees. The prices listed here are the exact prices that we pay for services, which vary based on the time of day of the meetup. We do not profit from the meetup.
| Service | Day Cost | Evening Cost |

| Transcription + srt | $300 | $300 |
Agreement/Fineprint
We have a sample sponsor agreement available on Google Drive if you would like to review sponsorship terms and conditions in advance of contacting us. Our sponsor agreement is based on the standard sponsor agreement for WordCamps and strives to be fair to all parties.
Sponsorship fees can be paid monthly or in a lump sum for the period being sponsored. We generally prefer sponsors to come on for 3 or more months at a time to help reduce the overhead costs associated with managing the event.
Current Sponsorship Needs
We are still looking for sponsors for the following:
- Caption sponsor for day meetup (immediate need).
- Caption sponsor for evening meetup beginning in February.
- Transcription sponsors for both day and evening meetups.
- ASL interpretation for both the day and evening meetups.
