OUR MISSION
The Foundation's key role is to find ways for the Filecoin community to solve the problems we face as a community, and help facilitate collective action.
INTERNET OF EVERYONE
Filecoin Foundation does not own Filecoin, operate it, or manage it.
It is one of many organizations that cares deeply about Filecoin — its potential, and the values it represents.
However, the foundation has a unique position within that ecosystem to help cultivate research, development, and community engagement.

In addition to providing funding, The Filecoin Foundation supports a vibrant, decentralized ecosystem with many independent organizations that provide funding, coordination, and leadership to support Filecoin’s long-term success.
COLLECTIVE ACTION
The Foundation helps the FIlecoin community solve problems and facilitates collective action
This means resisting the natural tendency of organizations to grow and accumulate value within themselves, and instead cultivating value creation outside the Foundation in the broader Filecoin ecosystem.
Boards of
Directors
