Icon sets, UI kits, fonts, templates — if you give design resources away, a sponsorship wall lets the studios and developers who ship them fund the next release.
Free resources travel precisely because they’re free — attaching a price would kill the reach that makes them valuable. But somewhere downstream, your icons are in a funded startup’s product and your UI kit saved an agency a billable week. Those people don’t need a license; they need a way to pay that means something. A named plaque on the wall of a designer whose work they ship is exactly that.
“Free, backed by the people who use it” with the badge right where the download button is.
Every case-study visitor sees who already puts money behind your work.
On Dribbble, Behance, X: one link that shows named backers instead of a bare shop link.
A readme in the zip, a note on the Figma cover page — the person opening it is the person who got the value.
Designers get backed by the people who ship their work: developers who reach for the same icon set in every project, studios that build on your kit, teams whose product looks the way it does because of your fonts. Companies back at higher tiers for the public association — their plaque on your wall reads as taste. Tenure badges show whose support has lasted, which tells new visitors your resources aren’t abandonware.
One-time or monthly backings, paid directly into your own Stripe account — we never hold your money. Fees: 10% on Free, 5% on Pro, 3% on Max.
You verify a handle or domain to unlock payouts; sponsors giving larger amounts pass an identity check. The names on your wall are real people.
Backers appear on your public wall with a tier, a name (or anonymous, their choice), and how long they’ve backed you.
Payouts currently require a U.S. Stripe account — more countries are coming. Your wall works everywhere.
Free to join. Your wall is live in minutes, and every backer after that is public credit.
