Sponsors, not advertisers.

We don't run ads. Here's what those panels are instead.

Ochlos is run by a small team in service of a Christ-centered community that's growing one quiet conversation at a time. As we work toward federal 501(c)(3) recognition, the room stays open thanks to three things — none of which involve selling your attention to the highest bidder.

Three pillars hold the lights on

  • Donations. People who use Ochlos and want it to keep existing. Support →
  • Ochlos merchandise. Apparel and goods that carry the message into the world. (Coming soon.)
  • Sponsors. Organizations that share the mission and want to be recognized as part of it.

Sponsors are not advertisers

A traditional ad model works like this: a company pays a publisher to put a message in front of you, then measures how many of you it can funnel into a purchase. That's not what we're doing.

A sponsor of Ochlos is an organization — a church, a ministry, a small business, a Christ-following founder — that says: we believe in what Ochlos is building, and we want our name to stand alongside it. They're not buying a click-funnel. They're being recognized as a participant in the mission.

What this means in practice

  • We do not recommend, promote, or sell on behalf of any organization through Ochlos.
  • We do not target you with messages based on your behavior.
  • Sponsors appear by name in the panels you see, as a public way of saying thank you.
  • The panel you just clicked brought you here — to read this — not to a sales page.

Want your organization named here?

If your organization sees the mission and wants to be recognized alongside it, we'd welcome hearing from you. We're small, careful about who we name on Ochlos, and not in a hurry — but the door is open.

Tell us about your organization through our Suggestions form. When you land there, pick the 🤝 Sponsor category and use the description and notes fields to share who you are, what you do, and why you'd like to stand with the Ochlos mission. We'll be in touch from there.
