Blender Foundation

Overview
"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 provide individual artists and small teams with a complete, free and open source 3D creation pipeline.

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, maintain and host blender.org services, and pay for bookkeeping and administration expenses."
