Mission and Purpose

The Participation Culture Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to building technology and services to increase the accessibility of the internet.[1]

Origins and Development 

Organizational Structure, Membership, and Funding

PCF describes its organizational culture as 'unique', group from the premise that "kindness would saturate every action in our organization, and infuse everything we did together." The honeycomb shape of their organizational chart captures this unique approach, where everyone "works together toward a common goal, in an environment where every individual can thrive, grow, learn, and share their ideas."[1]

Specializations, Methods and Tools

Major Projects and Events

PCF's Amara project produces subtitles to increase the linguistic accessibility of online videos. It won the Katherine M. Swanson Equality Award in 2011 and was singled out by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations.[2]
