Shuttleworth Foundation
Unverified non-profit organisation
Shuttleworth Foundation provides funding for dynamic leaders who are at the forefront of social change. They look for social innovators who are helping to change the world for the better and are looking for some support through an innovative social investment model. They give them a fellowship grant, and multiply the money they put into their projects by a factor of ten or more. The foundation provides technological, financial, and legal support, enabling all administrative processes such as contracting with 3rd parties, done in an efficient and risk free manner. They also work to support the fellows by connecting them with the foundation’s network of projects, funders and institutions. Communication and analytical skills in education, intellectual property rights, open and collaborative educational resources, telecommunications, open philanthropy and open science are the most prevalent, but not strictly defined, project areas.
