Mark Shuttleworth started the Foundation in 2001 and he is the driving force behind the success of the initiative. Known for testing boundaries in every sphere he becomes involved in, Mark continues to drive change in the world through the Foundation. We prides ourselves in investing in initiatives and individuals who challenge the status quo and positively contribute to change.
The Foundation is at its core an experiment in open philanthropy and uses alternative funding methodologies, new technologies and collaborative ways of working to ensure that every initiative receives the best exposure and resources to succeed. All our work is underpinned by Our Philosophy.
We provide funding for dynamic leaders who are at the forefront of social change. We identify amazing people, give them a fellowship grant, and multiply the money they put into their projects by a factor of ten or more. We are looking 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.
