 === I saw some Chapters use sponsorships, what is this? ===
 ** Sponsorships started out as a way to for businesses who would not afford a corporate membership.  But since some sponsors share much more than that.
-** To get a sponsorship you first write a sponsorship document (you can use the contact us form to ask tiffany to help on this) and then submit it to Kelly through the contact us form.  You can also post it on your wiki page and send it to local companies.

 ** You can also ask for a in-kind sponsorship.  For example, the Ottawa chapter has in-kind sponsorship with a company which provides them with a room to meet in, the av equipment to host meetings, snacks, and soft drinks. The certainty of having a stable location to meet is important to them. (contrast to chapters that move about from venue to venue).

 === What is this Seed Money I learned of? ===
-When a chapter has at least two leaders the OWASP Foundation will give it $500 seed money.  This money will be replaced in the beginning of every year.  For example, if in January you have $499 in your account OWASP Will add $1 to bring you up to $500.  If you have $1 in your account, we will add $499 to bring you up to $500.
