The CiviCRM Partner Program formed in late 2013/early 2014 and was the first initiative to transition CiviCRM off of founder funding and on to the community. It was followed by a member program and a technology partner program, as well as intiatives to garner support from individual community members.

Currently there are approximately 58 partners around the world. Many have been partners since inception, though a large portion have joined over the years.

The [partner program](https://civicrm.org/become-a-partner) is broken into 3 tiers and allows for an annual or monthly renewal cycle. It includes several 'benefits', however many of these go unused (like "access to the core team... what does that mean?", are poorly defined (like "support for RFPs/sales funnel) or are inconsistently applied (like event discounts).
