I am looking for another way to say "sponsors/supporters"
these are two distinct categories in my case and I need to address
both, but with differnt words as these sound to commercial.

The usage is a button on a website to direct visitors to the page
where the sponsors supporters are displayed. but of course we are
looking for a differnt way to say sponsors supporters...

How about "patrons" for sponsors and "boosters" for supporters?

What about "ANGELS"?  That will arouse curiosity, and it is an
expression for sponsors or supporters.

Pinkfreud, that'll teach me to ask for clarification before I read the
comments!  Great minds, etc.

For "sponser" or "supporter" how about one of these?
