## Where the Money Is Used
Financial contribution methods on the Authelia GitHub repositories and on the Authelia website are always utilized in
the development of Authelia in some way. None of the money is utilized for any personal expense. The Authelia
maintainers are unpaid.
At this stage the usage of money donated has been minimal with only a single instance of money being used. This money
was voluntarily given to security researchers who discovered a vulnerability which has since been fixed. This exchange
was not prompted by any bug bounty program as we do not have one, but we hope to in the future.
Potential usage for the money, ranked in order of priority:
1. Put Authelia through a comprehensive [Security Audit](../../information/security.md#help-wanted).
1. Audit of Code Security via Analysis.
2. Audit via Penetration Testing.
2. Bug Bounty Program.

## Sponsorship
Authelia is sponsored by several companies via indirect means. These companies deserve a special mention since their
contributions are very important to us but not easily visible.
If you feel you have a product or service that Authelia could benefit from please feel free to [contact](../../information/contact.md) us.
We are currently directly looking for someone to sponsor:
