Gov4Git Foundation Information

The Gov4Git Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, dedicated to research and development of standards and tools for plural and decentralized governance of collaborative communities. We believe that widely accessible protocols for bottom-up community governance and coordination are a crucial structural necessity for building robust societies — that are resilient to the occasional disastrous failings of centralized institutions, and that can harness the power of citizen innovation and creativity. Access to practical and cost-effective community governance will dramatically reshape a myriad of social enterprises, such as grassroot innovation and exchange of ideas, self-organization in the face of disasters, democratic deliberation and policymaking, development of shared standards for public infrastructure, and much more. Our mission is to empower the formation and sustainability of inclusive collaborative communities around the globe regardless of their socioeconomic environment, geopolitical context or persuasion.
