About Us

The Raspberry Pi Foundation’s mission is a UK-based educational charity working to put the power of computing and digital making into the hands of people all over the world. Established in 2008 and first known for our product the wildly successful Raspberry Pi computer the Foundation has developed education programmes and products that are helping millions of people learn new knowledge and skills. We are at the forefront of the global movement to help young people learn about computing and digital making.

We are an operating Foundation (rather than a grant-giving Foundation), meaning that we advance our mission through practical action. Through Code Club and CoderDojo, we support the world’s largest networks of free computing clubs for young people. Tens of thousands of educators have taken our online courses, and millions of people use our free online learning resources. We are part of a consortium that has been awarded 82m in government funding to train computing teachers in every school in England.

The Foundation’s income comes from a mix of profits from our trading company, contracts for the provision of educational services, and restricted and unrestricted philanthropic donations. View some of our supporters.
