Enforcing policies for GitHub Sponsors in your enterprise

About enterprise policies for GitHub Sponsors

GitHub Sponsors allows your organizations to financially support developers who build the open source projects you depend on. For more information, see About GitHub Sponsors and Sponsoring an open source contributor through GitHub.

By default, organizations that belong to an enterprise that pays by credit card cannot sponsor open source contributors. You can set a policy to enable GitHub Sponsors for individual organizations in your enterprise.

Organizations that belong to an enterprise that pays by invoice can either pay for sponsorship by invoice or attribute sponsorships using a linked account. For more information, see Paying for GitHub Sponsors by invoice or Attributing sponsorships to your organization.
