Fiscal Sponsorees | Python Software Foundation

The Python Software Foundation promotes, protects, and advances the Python programming language and supports and facilitates the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers.
Part of that mission includes acting as a fiscal sponsor to mission-related Python events, groups, and projects. The PSF provides 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status to fiscal sponsorees and manages back office issues like cash flow, accounting, budgeting, insurance, and contract/legal support, as well as access to nonprofit discounts.
When we are able to accept new fiscal sponsoree applications, we will update this page to provide information about the PSF's fiscal sponsorship program. Our general process begins with an email from your project to us. Next, we provide you a fiscal sponsorship questionnaire and materials about how the PSF supports fiscal sponsorees, as well as an introductory call to discuss how your event, group, or project fits with the PSF's charitable mission. Generally, we do pause reviews of new fiscal sponsorship requests the month before and after the annual PyCon US.
Bandit is a prominent open source project that focuses on the field of application security in Python. Developed and maintained by a dedicated community of developers, Bandit is designed to identify and highlight potential security vulnerabilities and weaknesses within Python codebases. As a static code analysis tool, Bandit scans through the source code, leveraging a wide range of security checks and rules to detect common security issues, such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and insecure cryptographic implementations.. Your contribution sustains Bandit developers and maintainers.

Jazzband is a project that secures the long-term maintenance of Python projects that have passed their first life-cycle as single-author projects.

You can support Jazzband to help keep Python projects alive.
