            <p class="lead">We believe providing public, self-service, and automated access to cloud infrastructure is essential for every project's incubation, growth, and success.
              <br /><br />
              To support this, PyTorch has established a program that enables organizations to contribute either cloud credits or financial donations directly towards maintaining and expanding our Continuous Integration (CI) infrastructure and other foundation-hosted project infrastructure. Contributions from organizations like AWS have already provided cloud credits, demonstrating a clear commitment to the success and sustainability of the PyTorch' Foundation's hosted projects. Many organizations continue to sponsor PyTorch projects, recognizing that supporting foundational infrastructure contributes directly to their own business growth and success.
