Hi Michael,
Yes, I interpret it is the nr of employees using (Q)GIS on a regular
basis within an organization. And it is based on self-declaration and
there is no control about the numbers whatsoever.
We have quite a nr of municipalities that support us on the "small"
level as sustaining member.
All is based on a voluntary contribution anyway and you are not required
to be a member in order to use QGIS.
Greetings,
Andreas

Sustaining membership works out a bit steep for us if you follow the
guideline – about 10 times what we currently pay for commercial
software (Manifold).
Is it reasonable to interpret number of employees as GIS users rather
than total employees?
I see my local council is on there as small, and I’m sure they have
more than 10 employees.
Obviously no limits apply if we go with donations without membership.

Dear Iain,
Yes, QGIS has an entity: QGIS.ORG is the worldwide association of QGIS
users and developers. QGIS.ORG is constituted as a Swiss ‘association’
(https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/charter.html) but it
is not a registered charity.
To help support QGIS, organizations are invited to become sustaining
members of QGIS.ORG. The details of our sustaining membership program
are described in:
https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/sustaining_members/sustaining_members.html
You can also see who's already supporting QGIS:

Anita
