We are extremely happy to announce that the city government of Munich in Germany has become the first official Sponsor of the Consul Democracy project!
Munich is a user of our citizen participation platform as of 2022 and a strong proponent of transparent and open source technology.

Munich chose to become an Ambassador which means significant support for our free and open source project, the quality of the software and the user community.
💳 Ambassador-level sponsors like Munich make a 20K contribution to the Consul Democracy Foundation which enables us to keep the project running and invest in both the software and our user community.
🎛 There are different levels of becoming a Consul Democracy sponsor, each with their own contributions and benefits: Donors, Stewards, Partners and Ambassadors.
