“OpenStreetMap Foundation’s community-driven approach helps keep the map of the world as accurate as possible. As map lovers and builders ourselves, we are excited to help support the OSMF mission” --Yennie Solheim, @nianticlabs

#OSM benefits when the companies who use its data support the project through Corporate Memberships. In 2024, 8 new companies joined and 5 increased their giving.

First, long-time members @esri, @meta and @msft have joined @tomtom at the Platinum giving level. Thank you!
