Partnership and sponsorship charter

This charter sets out the relationship between the MilkyWan association and its partners, whether as sponsor or as partner (mutual sponsorship). It describes the criteria and terms in general, non-exhaustive terms, and these may change over time. The main aim is for the partnership or sponsorship between the two parties to grow as much as possible, in the interest of each.

Values we look for and encourage

When entering a partnership or sponsorship, MilkyWan looks for and encourages values compatible with its own, in particular:

  • ethics (respect, common sense, tolerance…),
  • vision and philosophy (purpose, originality, innovation…),
  • consistency (relevance of the technologies and methods used…),
  • mindset (approach to challenges, respect for good practice and for trends in the sector).

Nature of sponsorship by MilkyWan

MilkyWan may support an association, a collective or a project in the following ways:

  • free or discounted access to one or more of the offers and services provided by MilkyWan (internet access, hosting on our servers, transit…),
  • announcements and links on our site,
  • donations of money or equipment…

Types of partners and projects we look for

We are open to any type of project and organisation, but it will be easier to work with organisations in technology, IT or telecommunications, or with organisations or projects that can directly and genuinely benefit from what we have to offer as sponsorship.
