Fund your idea with a subsidy of up to 275,000 dollars 2020

The Shuttleworth Foundation offers fellowships to individuals to implement their innovative idea for social change. They are most interested in exceptional ideas at the intersection between technology, knowledge, and learning, with openness being the key requirement. The personal investment you have to make in contemplating this fellowship is substantial – you have to really, honestly, and purposefully think through what your contribution to positive social change will be and that is tough. However, it could be the first step toward realizing your big vision.

The Shuttleworth Foundation is a small social investor that provides funding to dynamic leaders who are at the forefront of social change. We look for social innovators who are helping to change the world for the better and could benefit from a social investment model with a difference. We identify amazing people, give them a fellowship grant, and multiply the money they put into their own projects by a factor of ten or more.

Mark Shuttleworth started the Foundation in 2001. Known for pushing boundaries in every sphere he becomes involved in, Mark continues to drive change in the world through the Foundation.
