Info about the foundation

Mon Mar 25, 2013 4:46 pm

I don't know if this has been asked before in the forums...but I was interested in knowing more about the foundation.

How is it structured?

How many salaried employees are there?

What percentage of the profits from RPi sales go for charitable purposes?

Are those charitable donations in the form of money or scholarships or free RPi's for kids donated to schools...or all of the above?

In the "About Us" page it gives the history of the Pi....and that a foundation was formed to get the Pi designed and in production...but it gives no info about the financial structure of the foundation.

An AFAIK all profits made must be re-invested into the charity
itself.
You must search the front page with Google - Liz explains
a lot in the anniversary post and in comments here and there.
