The Mahara Partner Programme exists to meet the needs of Mahara support companies and other organisations who contribute actively to the Mahara project.

When you partner with Catalyst, you are kept apprised of the latest work being undertaken on Mahara and have the opportunity to help shape the future direction of the project.

The Mahara Partner Programme consists of two tracks to make it simple to participate for all types of organisations.

Partner programme tracks

The Mahara Partner Programme's two tracks are Mahara Business Partners and Mahara Supporters.

Mahara Business Partners are companies that offer Mahara support services, contribute features, bug fixes or translations to the Mahara codebase, or provide other services to the Mahara community.

Mahara Supporters are entities that do not offer commercial Mahara services, but contribute to the project substantially, for example by organising events, submitting code or engaging in other support services.

Mahara is backed by Catalyst

Catalyst’s open source specialists are the lead developers and maintainers of the Mahara project. Since the project’s launch in 2006, Catalyst has led development around the world, employing core Mahara contributors who are highly active in the community.

We can support your Mahara implementations and have the team with experience and expertise to help your organisation achieve its vision.
