Research & Development
We research and develop sustainable public goods funding methods, advancing the science of how open source projects and digital infrastructure can be sustainably financed.
What We Do
What we do.
The Public Goods Foundation is a member-supported 501(c)(6) non-profit, dedicated to improving the public goods ecosystem. Our work includes research and development of novel ways to sustainably fund public goods, organizing the PGF community with events, and broader public advocacy.
What We Build
Three pillars of practice.
Community
We organize community events, gatherings, and networks that bring together funders, builders, and advocates working in the public goods ecosystem.
Advocacy
We advocate for policies and practices that support the long-term health of open source infrastructure and the developers who maintain it.
