Corporate Commoner Program

Creative Commons and You

Creative Commons' work impacts creators, consumers, and the companies working to connect the two. Our tools enable creators to use the Internet and digital technologies: to freely and legally share culture. Our sponsors are pioneers in today's digital environment who recognize that the free and legal exchange of ideas and creativity is crucial to the development of a better world.

We work closely with them to identify new points of collaboration. Building a relationship with Creative Commons is an opportunity to align your company with an innovative organization.

It's also a chance to invest in the future of the digital commons — a resource that is becoming increasingly important everyday, as more of the world's population gains access to the Web. Some benefits of sponsoring CC include:

The CC Network

By working with Creative Commons, you can reach an enormous network of both end users and corporate innovators, showing the world that you support the digital needs of this growing community.

Business Development Opportunities

The impact of building Creative Commons into innovative technologies and infrastructures is significant and spans culture, science, education, and business. We have helped foster a digital culture‚ a culture that has changed the world and exemplified the viability and necessity of a sharing economy.

Because every relationship is different, the Creative Commons Development Team will work closely with you to tailor a working sponsorship that meets your needs.
