Yes gandi sponsors some projects. At the very least, I imagine that
LGM could obtain at least the deal that is given to all GNOME members:

Domains: https://www.gandi.net/domain/price/info?grid=E

Simple hosting:
https://www.gandi.net/hosting/simple?language=php&db=mysql&grid=E

SSL Certificates: https://www.gandi.net/ssl/grid

Cloud VPS servers (IaaS): https://www.gandi.net/hosting/iaas/prices?grid=E

Though of course, if some free resources for LGM can be bargained,
that would be better.

This said, I second TuxFamily. I use them for several hosting and I
think that's a great bunch of people. But that's a different sort.
It's less corporate and organized, more like LGM itself: various
people joined together in a non-profit organization for a common goal
and donating time. I'm fine with that, but I understand if some people
might want more "professional" support.
