The GSR Foundation is a new independent charity and grantmaker
The GSR Foundation envisions a world in which no one is excluded from participating in, or benefitting from, the advancement of technology and its role in progress.
The GSR Foundation is a new independent charity and grantmaker that will develop a grant portfolio and operating model throughout 2023.
Our work is funded by a generous donation from our Founding Partner, GSR (gsr.io), a leading cryptocurrency market maker.
In our first year we will take an active approach to finding our grantees and do not invite unsolicited applications. We do, however, welcome introductions to work that resonates firmly with our vision and mission. You may find out more about our grantmaking approach here and sign up to our mailing list below.
Thaki
‘GSR Foundation’s support of Thaki has allowed it to multiply its impact in a significant way including the procurement, preparation and delivery of hundreds of laptops to thousands of deserving children, allowing them to gain digital literacy skills and access quality e-learning educational content that would otherwise not have been accessible to them. The grant also contributed to Thaki’s advancement in streamlining and deepening its operational capacities, leading to its ability to effectively secure and deliver new innovative projects of high impact.’
