“The Eclipse Foundation has a long history of providing a strong, collaborative culture supporting open source-licensed projects, and many of those projects are important to Microsoft, our partners, and our customers. It is important for Microsoft to support the organisation that supports those projects, and to work within the organisation towards those collective goals.”

Yes. Many organisations start at one level and upgrade as their involvement grows.
No. While many members actively contribute to projects, membership is open to organisations that want to collaborate, influence, and support the ecosystem in different ways.
The Eclipse Foundation Member Portal gives your organisation visibility into its participation across the ecosystem. Track your involvement in projects and industry collaborations, and access resources and tools designed to support your engagement.
No, but many members choose to participate in working groups to collaborate more closely on specific technologies and industry initiatives.
Eclipse Foundation AISBL is the Foundation’s European-based legal entity. Most new members join through AISBL, which offers the same benefits as the original U.S.-based organisation.
