How about a new page on www.openstreetmap.org behind a new item "Contact" in the top row menu (which has Help and About)? I am thinking of a page which forwards users according to their scenario:
If you would like to contribute to the map as an individual, click here If you would like to partner with OSM to improve the map, click here If you would like to re-use OSM data or have questions about licensing, click here etc etc The current "Help" page is all about mapping, and the "About" page does contain a link to OSMF but without any information about what the OSMF is or does in the ecosystem.
