Our North Star
Our North Star goal is to maximize lifetime earning increases for every dollar we invest.
We have an ambitious initial impact target of driving over $100 in lifetime earnings gained per dollar spent.
We take impact prediction and measurement seriously, as we believe it holds us accountable to achieving results and encourages ambitious proposals from our partners. We will follow every dollar we invest to track how it maximizes the lifetime earnings of individuals.
What We Do
People everywhere aspire to improve their lives, support their families, and contribute to their communities. But often, achieving this can seem impossible.
What would it take, not just to survive, but to thrive?
The GitLab Foundation is investing in people. We are accelerating ways for people to gain the skills and opportunities to increase their lifetime earnings. As people thrive, so will their communities and economies.
The GitLab Foundation is an independent global private foundation, associated with GitLab Inc., and is a fully remote organization.
