The Blender Foundation is an independent organisation (a Dutch "stichting"), acting as a non-profit public benefit corporation, with the following goals:

• To establish services for active users and developers of Blender
• To maintain and improve the current Blender product via a public accessible source code system under the GNU GPL license
• To establish funding or revenue mechanisms that serve the foundation's goals and cover the foundation's expenses
• To give the worldwide Internet community access to 3D technology in general, with Blender as a core

The Blender Foundation has offices in the Amsterdam Blender Institute. Revenues from e-shop and publishing enable Ton Roosendaal and a small staff to work full-time on Blender, organize activities like for Siggraph or the Blender Conference, support development/documention projects, and pay for bookkeeping and administration expenses.

The main activities for Blender are organized in boards and projects. You can read about this on our Getting Involved pages.
