# Sponsor PPT Master

English | [中文](SPONSORING_CN.md)

PPT Master is a free, open-source workflow for turning documents or topics into native, editable PowerPoint decks. It is independently maintained and remains provider-agnostic. Sponsorship helps fund maintenance, compatibility work, examples, documentation, and the infrastructure used by the project.

Sponsorship is considered selectively. A partnership must be useful to PPT Master users and must not compromise the project's technical independence or user trust.

## Audience

- **49,000+ GitHub stars** and **3,900+ forks** (August 2026), with the project still in active growth.
- **Five corporate sponsors are currently on renewal.**
- Readers are developers and AI power users working in agent-capable tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and VS Code.

## Partnership Placements

### Lead Sponsor

A prominent placement for one primary partner whose product has a strong fit with PPT Master's users.

**From $1,000/month.**

Potential placement includes:

- The expanded sponsor block near the top of `README.md` and `README_CN.md`.
- The lead position in [`skills/ppt-master/SPONSORS.md`](skills/ppt-master/SPONSORS.md), which travels with standalone Skill distributions.
- A relevant, clearly disclosed mention at an existing user decision point.

### Service Partner

For services that solve a real need in the PPT Master workflow, such as agent or model access, AI image generation, narration, cloud infrastructure, or hosted execution.

**From $500/month.**

Potential placement includes:

- A listing in the repository and standalone Skill sponsor pages.
- A context-specific mention in existing setup or troubleshooting documentation.
- A dedicated referral link, promotion code, or user benefit supplied by the partner.

### Technical Integration Partner

For providers whose API or hosted service is genuinely supported by an existing PPT Master integration boundary.

**Pricing is agreed individually, since scope depends on the integration.**

Technical integration requires compatibility review and must remain optional. Sponsorship alone does not make a provider a default, bypass validation, or justify provider-specific behavior inside the presentation workflow.

### Supporting Sponsor

A compact logo and link placement for organizations that support ongoing maintenance without requiring a workflow integration.

**From $200/month.**

## Minimum Term

Corporate sponsorship starts at **one quarter (three consecutive months)**, across every placement above. Rates are quoted per month as a pricing unit only; single-month placements are not accepted.

A sponsor placement is a standing recommendation to users, not a short-run ad slot. A partner that appears for one month and then leaves churns the sponsor surfaces and makes users doubt what they are shown there — which hurts the project and its other partners alike.

Individual support is not subject to this minimum.

## Partnership Requirements

Partners should provide:

- An accurate product description and approved brand assets.
- A stable destination URL, preferably with a trackable referral parameter.
- A concrete benefit for PPT Master users when applicable.
- A current contact for operational or content updates.
- Prompt notice when pricing, availability, branding, or promotional terms change.

All promotional claims remain subject to review. Expired, misleading, unavailable, or technically incompatible offers may be corrected or removed.

## Project Boundaries

Sponsorship does not include:

- Influence over the project roadmap or quality gates.
- Access to user files, prompts, generated presentations, or usage data.
- Advertising inside exported PPTX files.
- Automatic selection of a sponsor's service without user choice.
- Custom development, private deployment, or a commercial support SLA.
- An endorsement beyond the exact placement and wording agreed for the partnership.

## Current Sponsor Surfaces

- The sponsor block near the top of [README.md](README.md) and [README_CN.md](README_CN.md).
- Contextual model-access guidance in the installation and FAQ documentation.
- The standalone Skill sponsor page at [`skills/ppt-master/SPONSORS.md`](skills/ppt-master/SPONSORS.md).
- The sponsor and individual-support section near the end of both README files.

## Contact
