The Servo open-source web browser engine has been making good progress in recent times. Long outside the confines of Mozilla and working as a Linux Foundation Europe project, Servo has been advancing thanks to Igalia and other open-source developers while getting by on around ~$5.7k USD per month thanks mostly to donations from individuals. Servo has now announced sponsorship tiers in hopefully to solicit more donations from larger organizations.

Servo's sponsorship tiers announced today range from the "bronze" level at $100 USD per month up to the top-tier "platinum" level with $10k USD monthly contributions from organizations (or individuals). Those contributing at the different sponsorship tiers will be featured on the project's homepage.

Even capturing one platinum sponsor to the project would do a lot of good considering they are currently pulling in just the $5~6k in monthly donations. Servo developers meanwhile continue advancing the engine, working on their "servoshell" demo browser, and much of their growth and corporate interest will likely come from their work on being embed-friendly and becoming an alternative to Chromium CEF.
