Welcome to the PostgreSQL Community Association (PGCA), a Canadian Not For Profit organization chartered by the PostgreSQL core team in 2011 to hold and protect the Postgres brand assets globally, including domain names and trademarks for the PostgreSQL Project.
As of July 2025, the sponsorship prospectus for the PostgreSQL Community Association (PGCA) has been updated. The volunteer-run PGCA non-profit relies entirely on sponsorship and donations from corporations and individuals like you.
The PGCA Board and the PostgreSQL Core Team deeply appreciate the generous financial support we receive from corporations, small businesses, and individual donors. Your annual contributions make it possible for us to protect the PostgreSQL brand assets.
To learn more about sponsorship levels, where your sponsorship dollars will go, and how PGCA recognizes donors—please review the updated PGCA sponsorship prospectus.
Following an AGM and board meeting held at PGConf.dev 2025 in Montreal, the PostgreSQL Community Association of Canada's board has been confirmed as:
The PostgreSQL Community Association wishes to provide an update on trademark actions that were taken by Fundación PostgreSQL.
On November 17, 2023, the PostgreSQL Community Association, PostgreSQL Europe, and Fundación PostgreSQL reached a settlement on all outstanding trademark issues. Fundación PostgreSQL has surrendered all trademarks and entered into a trademark license with the PostgreSQL Community Association.
All three organizations are pleased to have reached an amicable resolution, and all will continue to work on activities to help grow the PostgreSQL community.
On 27th July we published a news article updating the community on the ongoing trademark dispute with Fundación PostgreSQL in response to a blog post on their website.
Following discussion with the PostgreSQL Core Team, the Association has now registered PostgreSQL Community Association (PGCA) as a business name and will primarily use that name in the future.
The PostgreSQL Community Association of Canada remains the legal name of the Association, and may still be seen in official documents, contracts, and elsewhere.
