NumFOCUS (Numerical Foundation for Open Code and Useable Science) was founded in 2012, it is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports and promotes, innovative, open source scientific computing. The purpose of NumFOCUS is to promote the use of accessible and reproducible computing in science and technology. They accomplish this mission through the educational programs and events as well as through fiscal sponsorship of open source scientific computing projects. NumFOCUS was founded in 2012 by Fernando Perez, Jarrod Millman, Perry Greenfield, and Travis Oliphant.. Current Board of Directors consists of Sylvian Corlay, Logan Kilpatrick, Rosie Pongracz, James Powell, Katrina Riehl, and Stéfan van der Walt. The organization is located in Austin TX, USA.

Mission

The mission of NumFOCUS is to promote open practices in research, data, and scientific computing by serving as a fiscal sponsor for open source projects and organizing community-driven educational programs.

NumFOCUS is a 501(c)(3) public charity in the United States.

Vision

NumFOCUS envisions an inclusive scientific and research community that utilizes actively supported open source software to make impactful discoveries for a better world.
