About PLANETWORK NGO INC

Planetwork NGO Inc is a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by a group of technology and ecology practitioners in the late 1990s and recognized as tax-exempt in 2001. The organization convenes and supports projects at the intersection of information technology, digital identity, civic organizing and ecological stewardship, and has served as a fiscal home for a range of community technology initiatives.

In recent years Planetwork has remained active as a small grant recipient and program host. Its most recent IRS Form 990 (tax year 2023) reports roughly $203k in revenue and significant net assets (approximately $600k), and the organization has received six-figure program support from institutional funders to advance projects such as Stop Online Violence Against Women. Planetwork continues to steward open-technology work (including the JLINC open-protocol activities and related identity projects) and to host community programs and events aligned with its mission.
