Corporate Information
Corporate Form
Open Source Ecology is incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the State of Missouri, USA. Our strategy is to develop education and research for the common good. Our goal is open enterprise, so we develop, test, and publish open business models. The nonprofit sector allows us to generate revenue from related product sales - which are used to test our innovative production models - while allowing us to capture donations and foundation funding to accelerate our development. As such, we see ourselves as a hybrid organization.
In September 2013, OSE has attained its own 501(c)3 determination from the IRS. You can see a copy of the OSE Determination Letter.
